Attorneys licensed to practice law are exempt from CQS continuing education credits if sufficient continuing legal education credits are provided to AACQP. The same holds true for CPA, CFPs, and CDFAs if sufficient documentation is provided at year-end. For those that are not attorneys nor can provide evidence of earnings credits under the aforementioned professional designations, you must register to complete a 15 credit course through AACQP every two years.
