Home Education On-Demand Learning

On-Demand Learning Opportunities

The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) educational programs have been redesigned with you in mind! NFDA makes it easier for you to get continuing education credits by offering education opportunities that are convenient for you. Choose online courses or home study programs to learn at your own pace from the comfort of your own home or office.

NFDA courses are approved for CE through December 31 of the year of purchase only. Before the end of the year, students receive an email reminder to complete outstanding CE courses on time.

Online Courses By Subject Matter Experts

Popular course topics include embalming, living funerals, managing professional stress and the FTC Funeral Rule. Learn best practices from top subject matter experts, including Jzyk Ennis, Scott Gilligan, Lacy Robinson and Vernie Fountain. 

Check the online course listing below to find a topic that interests you.

Home Study Packages Offer Convenience

Course packages include the product of your choice (book or DVD) + one continuing education CE Test. Additional staff members can earn CE from the same home study product but must purchase their own tests and submit completed tests to NFDA individually.

Topics include:

  • Business Operations
  • Cremation
  • Customer Service
  • Embalming & Technical Skills
  • FTC Compliance, Legal & Ethics
  • Green Funeral Practices
  • Grief & Bereavement
