We offer 12 Certification Courses, our most in-depth professional development option. How many teachers do you think have completed ALL of them? 

This week, we’re celebrating the achievements of educators from the 2023-24 school year! Today, we recognize the teachers who completed all 12 NGPF Certification Courses - a commitment of 120 hours spent becoming more confident, qualified, and ready for their classroom.

NGPF offers virtual Certification Courses focused on a single personal finance topic. Educators strengthen their content knowledge with nine hours of instruction and are assessed through an hour-long exam. The topics of these courses include investing, insurance, behavioral economics, paying for college, and more. 

The NGPF Academy recognizes and rewards educators who participate in NGPF professional development. Teachers earn achievements as their credit hours accumulate. You are automatically enrolled in the NGPF Academy when you participate in any of our PD offerings.

Congratulations to the 65 teachers who passed their 12th NGPF Certification in the 23-24 Academy Year
