Mission and Purpose of the NAIFA Certification Commission
Certification in the Life and Annuity Certified Professional (LACP) Program governed by the NAIFA Certification Commission is intended primarily to be a benefit to the public, in selecting or employing members of the insurance and financial advisor profession, as well as a benefit to members of the insurance and financial advisor profession itself, in providing benchmarking and criteria for the services those professionals provide to the public.
The purpose of the Commission is to develop and govern the Program, including the process through which qualified insurance and financial professionals can apply for and receive certification, with that process being valid, credible, and transparent according to standards outlined in the Commission’s Charter and accreditation standards accepted in the certification industry.
See the Candidate Handbook to learn about the LACP certification and the exam. NAIFA has a study guide available to purchase to aid in your exam preparation.
