If you’re reading this and you’re on summer break, congratulations! And if you're still wrapping up the school year—hang in there, you’re so close. Wherever you are on the countdown, one thing is true: it’s the Summer of Certs, and there’s no better time to build your confidence and content knowledge with an NGPF Certification Course.

This summer, we’re offering every single NGPF Certification Course and when you complete six or more, you'll earn the title of NGPF Distinguished Educator, joining a growing group of over 1,234 dedicated teachers across the country. 

Each of the NGPF Certification Courses requires teachers to:

• participate in 9 hours of live or asynchronous instruction to boost their content mastery in a core personal finance unit (e.g. Banking & Budgeting, Career, Investing)

• ace the corresponding 1-hour exam at the end of the cohort
