You are welcome to complete as many courses as you’d like! If you are working full-time or completing other coursework, we would recommend that you complete no more than two certification programs simultaneously, but you get to set your own personal limit. There is no deadline, and if you find you need to complete one at a time, you are able to do so.

Our programs are each structured to be 2-4 months long, but you can decide to complete them in 12 months (or more) if necessary. Regardless of the number of programs you have registered for, you are permitted to take as long as you need.

To pass you must earn a grade of 80% or higher between your examination and project.

Our programs were designed for experienced business professionals and students alike. We normally require you to have a degree, but we are happy to work with you and welcome anyone into our certification programs.

Our programs can also assist in obtaining internships, and our team provides networking, resume construction, resume templates, and internship advice and resources. Starting your career with this knowledge base can save you years of job experimentation within various roles. As a Investment Certification Institute certification holder, you have an advantage over others with the same degree. Employers seek those who have taken the initiative to gain additional knowledge relevant to their career.

Most professionals take ~75-100 hours to prepare for our exams. The specific program and your past experience and/or education can affect this, however, by reducing or adding an additional 25 hours to these estimates. We have built our programs to be the most challenging business certifications available. They are not easy and take consistent studying, reading, and reviewing to complete. This lack of ease helps to build credibility and respect for those holding these professional designations. Programs that are easy to pass, not challenging, and low quality, do not increase or improve one’s professionalism.

Our programs costs a flat fee of $19.50/monthly. Our program fees cover tuition, registration, access to our online video, audio, and document resources. It also covers the examination fee, grading fee, and designation fee, as well as the certificate when you pass.

The only fee you may incur may come from needing to retake an examination if you failed the first time. There is a $127 fee to reschedule and retake an examination.

You are welcome to complete as many of our certification programs as you would like. We recommend completing one or two programs at a time if you are also working or completing coursework elsewhere, but you get to set your personal limit.

Some professionals are pro-active and take their level of knowledge and career seriously. They constantly re-invest in themselves and improve how efficiently and effectively they can produce results for their employers. However some other professionals are very slick talkers and marketers of themselves and they can sometimes outshine the genuine hard working and well trained professionals who would help your company make more money. The certification programs we offer are the most challenging in the business world and if someone has completed one or several of these it is because they have dedicated hundreds of hours in studying these concepts and best practices and at some level have mastered them.

We do not offer scholarships but we do have affordable payment plans, discounts also may vary.

Our programs are built based on what is practical and used in the marketplace today. We do not use traditional textbooks or even professors in most cases; instead, we rely on expert interviews, what really works in the real world, and case studies. Our programs can help select members of your company or whole teams move up the learning curve in just 2-4 months within several high value niches that can pay dividends back to your company in more effective, efficient, creative, and motivated employees. If you pay for an employee or set of employees to complete our program and they do not receive valuable best practices, tips, and valuable strategies you may email us and request your full tuition refund during the first 7 weeks of your registration. We are dedicated to making our programs worth not just $98.50/monthly, but at least $10,000 each; our goal is to create programs which are worth at least 10x more than the tuition paid for them.

There are three main differences which include focus, application, and price.

– Our programs are some of the most challenging business designation and certification programs.
– The certification programs we offer are not mandated by a university, not based on theory, and do not slog through slow moving 400 page textbooks. Our programs are built based on what is practical, considered a best practice, and is valuable today in the real business world.
– The business designation and certification programs we offer all cost $98.50/monthly (when registering for just one program), less than a typical 3 credit course at a university – yet you receive more practical knowledge and training and you are able to add this third party verification of your specialized knowledge to your resume.

Participants who complete our program and pass our challenging examination should be able to add a new entry to their resume or online business profile along with three bullet points which describe the new tactics, abilities, and strategies the participant has picked up within the program.
