Courses required for the RRC (Registered Reserve Consultant) credential
Associated Reserve Planners (ARP) is the only recognized provider of "Core Course" education for the Budgeting Professionals Credentialing Board (BPCB) for pusposes qualifying to apply for the RRC credential. The RRC credential is the ONLY credential or designation for reserve preparers that requires education prior to obtaining the credential and proof of knowledge via testing. BPCB also requires 8 continuing education annually to retain the RRC credential. While that annual education is not required to be provided by ARP, we believe that ARP is the only organization that has taken a structured approach to education for reserve professionals in course selection to provide a well rounded education. As such, ARP is the leader in education for reserve professionals.
