Overview of the Elder Planning Counselor Designation Program via Distance Learning This program consists of 4 modules each module earns you 10 CE Credit hours! Plan your future by achieving the Elder Planning Counselor Designation. Take advantage of the wealth of knowledge designed by Canadians for Canadian professionals. If you are currently interacting with or plan to interact with Canada’s largest, growing population segment, the 50-plus crowd, then you will greatly benefit by achieving the EPC mark. EPC’s know and understand the issues and alternatives that are important and unique to Elder life in Canada. An EPC respects elder circumstances and confidentiality. They provide guidance and assistance in financial, emotional, spiritual and health issues with the elder’s best interests in mind. An EPC creates solutions that acknowledge the Elder’s particular concerns and challenges. They inconspicuously accommodate any age appropriate physical challenges and impairments that the elder may have to ensure that their needs are met. The Pro-Seminars "EPC" Distance Learning Program The EPC Designation distance learning program will be distributed by Pro-Seminars and the designation will be granted by Canadian Initiative for Elder Planning Studies (CIEPS). You now have the opportunity to achieve your EPC Designation the same way you would study and receive any other designation... by completing each of the 4 segments at your own pace. (6 month maximum per segment) This method of attaining your EPC Designation is designed for completion on a self-study basis. To successfully attain the EPC Designation, you must complete all 4 segments of the program and attain a final grade of at least 70% by completing the EPC Qualification examination. The exam is written right in your own community - or close by. Upon successfully passing each segment (via a test pertaining to that segment) you will be granted an EPC Certificate of Completion attesting to the fact that you have completed one step in the process towards the final EPC Designation. When all four segments are successfully completed, you will have the opportunity to take the Proctored EPC Final Qualification examination. Upon achieving 70%, you will be granted the Elder Planning Counselor Designation and from that point forward, you may use the EPC mark signifying the completion of all the requirements necessary to become a member of Canadian Initiative for Elder Planning Studies.
