Don't miss the first NFDA Certified Preplanning Consultant (CPC) seminar of 2018, taking place April 26 and 27 at the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science (PIMS)! The application deadline for this program has been extended to April 19 - apply now!
The CPC designation is the only national certification program in the specialized field of advance funeral planning. It sets you apart from the competition, increases consumer confidence and helps promote preplanning in your community.
The seminar and exam are based on the CPC Standards Manual, which qualified candidates receive in advance for study prior to the seminar. Topics include preplanning principles, the FTC Funeral Rule, ethics, funding options, contract standards, attentive listening skills, marketing principles, customer service excellence, consultative sales, and creating meaningful funeral ceremonies. There are 75 multiple-choice questions on the two-hour exam.
