For renewing ARN/EUIN, IFA's have to undergo mandatory training called Continuing Professional Education (CPE) through six hours of classroom training or three and a half hours of digital training while sitting in the convenience of home or office.
The fee for the regular CPE or eCPE is Rs. 2500 which is to be paid through the NISM portal.
eCPE
It is NISM’s Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program delivered in an online mode. In a conventional CPE, participants are required to physically visit the CPE venue and attend a full-day training program. Now, candidates can access the training program from their home/office at their convenience.
The eCPE consists of a mix of video lessons and quizzes. One can access the eCPE using a smartphone. However, the internet connectivity should be good.
