Tell me about The Institutes Designations' exam windows and what is the best strategy to selecting a window
Each exam window is open for 60 days. You may take your exam anytime during that time period.*
We recommend you create a study plan to complete the course work first, then add two to three weeks for review and to complete the practice exam to be confident you are prepared. After creating this schedule, you should be able to select your exam window. If your projected completion date falls between exam windows, we recommend selecting the next exam window to not rush your studies.
*Exam windows that close on a weekend will be extended to the following business day.

Absolutely. The Institutes is home to a variety of options including Micro-Certs, topic courses, market specialization courses, continuing education courses, employee benefits courses and certificates, and a Producer Accelerator program.
