Q) WHY CAN'T I USE MY WORK COMPUTER VIA VPN, BUT MY PERSONAL PC AT HOME ACCESSES THE WEBSITE JUST FINE?

A) Most corporate networks will not allow a user to log in via VPN then access another network from there. Therefore, a user's home PC will allow the user to use the website, but a users work computer that allows access via VPN into the company's network will not work on our website due to the security protocols set in place on the user's workplace network.

Q) WHY CAN'T I USE MY CFP AND IMCA CE FOR MY STATE REQUIREMENTS?

A) CFP and IMCA allow for one credit hour per ten questions on the final exam and do not require a monitor. For continuing education credit, some states require monitored exams and some do not. Therefore, as a provider of CE, we cannot offer state credit on CFP and IMCA because of varying state monitoring requirements.
