DOL auditors seek proof of fiduciary training. Is Fiduciary Training for You?
Appropriate
PSCA’s ERISA Fiduciary Training Program is appropriate for members of fiduciary committees and other employees who have primary responsibility for the operation of their companies’ ERISA plans.
Comprehensive
While most fiduciary training programs focus almost exclusively on investments, PSCA offers a comprehensive approach that addresses all areas that are relevant to plan fiduciaries, including fiduciary duties, plan governance, plan documents, monitoring outside consultants and participant communications.
Convenient
Study at your own pace. All lessons and tests are available exclusively online.
Fiduciary Certification
Successful completion of all four modules of the program will result in the awarding of PSCA’s ERISA Fiduciary Training certificate. Continuing education credits are also available through the program.
Completion of the following four education modules is required to receive the certificate:

Each module consists of educational materials followed by an online test. You may view the program as many times as necessary before taking the test. After registering, you have up to a year to complete the program.
