Investment adviser representatives must complete 12 hours of continuing education (IAR CE) requirements by December 31, 2024. This is an annual requirement pursuant to Colorado Securities Rule 51-4.4.1(IA).
Approved Courses
The Division is proud to be one of the first states to be an approved CE provider. The first course, Preparing For Launch: Your ADV Filing for Colorado Investment Advisers, will be offered in person on November 13 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. (Registration and networking begins at 9:30 a.m.) In this interactive course, the Division staff will offer guidance on several key provisions of the Form ADV Part 1 and ADV Part 2 that are applicable to most licensees in their annual renewal process. Staff will also focus on how and when to file. This session qualifies for 2 CE credits (products and practice) and includes an opportunity to meet staff and ask questions. Registration is limited on a first come, first served basis. Register here. This course will be subsequently uploaded to the course lists provided by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA).
