IAR CE Model Rule

The North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) announced on November 30, 2020 that its membership voted to adopt a model rule to set parameters by which NASAA members could implement continuing education programs for investment adviser representatives in their jurisdictions. The model rule has a products and practices component and an ethics component and is intended to be compatible with other continuing education programs. The model rule is available here.

The model rule represents the culmination of years of work by state securities regulators and industry to develop a relevant and responsive continuing education program. This successful collaboration will help promote heightened regulatory compliance while also helping investment adviser representatives better serve their clients by remaining knowledgeable of current regulatory requirements and best practices.

Program Handbook

The IAR CE Program Handbook was developed by NASAA’s Investment Adviser Representative Continuing Education Committee and Prometric, a global leader in test development, testing delivery, and candidate services. Prometric serves as the course management vendor for the IAR CE program. The handbook was developed to help potential providers better understand and meet the requirements for acceptable IAR CE course material.

During the first four months of 2021, Prometric and NASAA worked to standardize the criteria under which potential IAR CE content providers, instructors and individual CE courses will be approved. The CE program criteria, requirements and application material can be found in the handbook.
