NFP-CERT Online Access Instructions A personal pin code is enclosed

receipt. Once activated, you will gain immediate online access to
the product. Frequently Asked Questions Do I have to be a CPA to
get the certificate? You do not have to be a CPA to obtain the
certificate. The certificate is designed to benefit CPAs and
non-CPA alike, including anyone who works for, or with, a
nonprofit. Those who obtain the certificate will receive the
recommended CPE / CAE credits. What level of knowledge should I
possess prior to starting the NFP Certificate program? While the
program is designed to provide a foundational level of learning,
individuals will benefit from having a basic understanding and
awareness of financial reporting, auditing, governance and tax
terminology and practices. How is the course material presented?
Designed to be highly interactive, this program offers multiple
opportunities for learning, including case study analysis and
several gaming scenarios. Participants will be offered the
opportunity to apply their new NFP knowledge in a simulated
real-world environment. Tests are presented after each course to
allow you to apply what you just learned. There are no additional
tests at the end of tracks or when you've completed the
certificate. How long will it take me to complete? This varies from
individual to individual and is completely dependent upon the time
the participant allocates to completing the coursework. A
commitment of approximately 40 hours will be required for most
individuals to successfully complete the program. What period of
time do I have to complete the program? You have twenty-four (24)
months from the date of purchase to complete all the courses. You
are encouraged to complete the program within a twelve (12) month
period or less. Can I complete the program in any order? Yes, there
are no limitations on the order in which you take the courses. When
will I receive a hard copy of my certificate? You will receive your
certificate in the mail 6-8 weeks after completing the program.
Once I complete the program and obtain my Certificate, how long is
it valid? The NFP Certificate is not a professional credential or
license, it is evidence that the program was successfully completed
as of a certain year, therefore it does not expire. However, we
anticipate that some individual courses may be updated every 1-3
years to reflect changes in the industry. For your certificate to
remain current, you will need to successfully complete those
updated courses. However, updates are likely to be at a fraction of
the cost of the original certificate. Plus, you have access to the
program for 24 months from purchase, if the courses are updated
during that period, you will have access to the updated courses at
no additional cost. Completion of these updated courses will earn a
new Certificate, with the current year's date. Is there any cost
savings in purchasing the entire certificate over buying tracks
individually? Yes, the more courses you buy, the less you pay per
course. For instance, a member who buys the certificate will save
approximately $150 over someone who buys the tracks individually,
and approximately $400 over someone who buys all the courses
individually. If I were to purchase one course or track, and then
decided to purchase the entire certificate, will I still get the
full bundled price savings? Yes, as long as you haven't already
paid more than the full certificate price. The price you paid for
the courses or tracks you have already taken will be deducted from
the total certificate price. If I am unable to complete the entire
NFP Certificate Program, will I receive CPE credit for the courses
I do complete? You are not required to complete the entire program
to earn CPE credit. The courses are offered individually, so you
will earn CPE credit for each course you take and successfully
complete the exam. However, you must successfully complete the exam
for all courses in the entire program in order to receive the NFP
Certificate. Am I required to obtain a certain number of CPE
credits annually for the Certificate to remain current and active?
There are no specific annual requirements for maintaining your
Certificate. However, we anticipate that some individual courses
may be updated every 1-3 years to reflect changes in the industry.
For your certificate to remain current, you will need to
successfully complete those updated courses. However, updates are
likely to be at a fraction of the cost of the original certificate.
Plus, you have access to the program for 24 months from purchase,
if the courses are updated during the access period, you will have
access to the updated courses at no additional cost. I have prior
experience working with NFPs. Will I be allowed to test out of
certain courses while still earning the certificate? Actual
completion of the courses is required to earn the NFP Certificate.
CPE credit is being awarded for the courses, and the CPE standards
do not allow for "testing out of" a course as a way to earn credit.
