Bryn Mawr, PA (PRWEB) June 13, 2007 -- The American College has entered into an agreement with the Financial Planning Association (FPA®) to provide FPA members with money saving discounts if they enroll in The College's CASL™ Retirement Coaching Program.
FPA members who have earned their CFP® certification will be eligible to receive up to $210 in savings toward a CASL™ designation from The American College. Other FPA members interested in enrolling in the CASL program can save up to $90. In exchange, the FPA will provide American College students and alumni interested in joining their association with a $50 membership discount.
The agreement provides benefits to members of both organizations. FPA members will have the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of baby boomer and retirement-related issues through advanced CASL program coursework at a reduced price. At the same time, students and alumni of The American College will have the opportunity to enjoy the many benefits associated with membership in the Financial Planning Association.
"The CASL designation is the most comprehensive educational program available for financial advisors interested in serving the needs of baby boomers," said Larry Barton, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of The American College. "We encourage FPA members who work in this $2.1 trillion market to consider taking advantage of this unique opportunity."
America's 76 million baby boomers continue to have a huge impact on the field of retirement planning. Financial professionals today need to have access to the specialized knowledge The American College has created with the CASL program.
CASL provides professionals with an in-depth understanding of the special needs, issues and decisions affecting Americans during the second half of their lives. Individuals who enroll in the program learn how to analyze a client's situation and develop a financial plan that helps individuals and families achieve their financial objectives. Unlike other retirement planning designation programs, CASL also addresses the full range of health, psychological and sociological issues affecting baby boomer clients.
