Study Materials for the exams include a study packet and several reference materials. All the materials are PDFs, and will be available to all who register for the exam through CEPI Connect. The course itself is entirely self-study, and all studying is done in the comfort of your own home, using our provided syllabi to guide your studies. All materials are included in the registration fee - no additional materials need to be purchased.
Reference textbooks are also included with the cost of registration and will be available in digital format.
CEPI is excited to announce CEPIConnect, the new registration database. Registration, account management, and CE submission will no longer be done through MyCEP.
Since the Certified Equity Professional Institute sends out communication primarily through email, ensure that your primary email address (login email address) remains up to date. If you have lost access to the primary email on your CEPIConnect account, email cepi@scu.edu for assistance.
