[Kris Alban]

Here are two others which you can check out:

The Institute for Financial Literacy offers a certification program (https://fincert.org/).

Also, University of Illinois Online Network has an instructor-led train the trainer course which is geared more towards getting instructors ready to teach financial literacy (http://www.ion.uillinois.edu/courses/catalog/C-CourseDetail.asp?course=55).

Subject: [Natfinwellness] Financial literacy-type certification for educators working with college students?

Hi everyone,

I work for TRiO Student Support Services, which means that I work with low-income and first-generation college students (and students with disabilities) and help them progress toward their bachelor's degrees. In an effort to improve how our program educates students about financial literacy (financial literacy education is one of the federal requirements for our program), I was planning to complete the Inceptia Personal Financial Management online certification next month. Unfortunately, I was just informed that that program has been discontinued. So I was hoping the brilliant minds of this listserv might be able to point me towards other options for increasing my own financial literacy knowledge and skills so that I can improve our services for our students. Specifically, I'm interested in an online program that I can do at my own pace, and the program should be aimed at educators of college students. Bonus points for a program that also covers cultural competency/cultural differences in relation to financial conversations. Any thoughts and resources would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
