An Independently Accredited Retirement Planning Designation
The Certified Retirement Counselor® (CRC®) certification is independently accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). Independent third-party “program” accreditation provides impartial, third-party validation that a certification program has met recognized best practice credentialing standards for development, implementation, and maintenance. Only eight of the more than 180 designations listed by FINRA are independently accredited.
