The 401(k) Training & Certification Program

401(k) plan implementation, communication, and administration are some of the hardest and most complex tasks undertaken by organizations.

Our 401(k) Plan Training & Certification Program is loaded with information on plan design, administrative options, and compliance requirements - all written in non-legal terms and supported with numerous tips, examples, and interactive questions - that help you to understand the many and complex 401(k) rules. There is also a special "Bookmark" feature so you can learn at your own pace.

You can test to earn a "Certified 401(k) Plan Administrator" designation upon completion of the Program. This Program also qualifies for eight hours of both SHRM and HRCI re-certification credits!

By taking this course, you will learn:

• What documentation is required to implement and operate a 401(k) plan
• Which employees can be specifically included or excluded from plan participation
• How to properly handle loans, distributions, vesting, and taxation
• How to properly administer plan forfeitures
• To understand and comply with non-discrimination rules and/or perform non-discrimination tests
• What fidiciary responsibilities your organization has
• To comply with annual reporting requirements

Organizations enrolling three or more individuals also receive our Management Interface at no cost. This interface lets managers view employee progress, test scores, and any incorrectly answered test questions - great for remedial training!
