Responsible Investment Advisor Certification (RIAC)

To earn an RIAC designation, you must complete the PRI Academy’s RI Essentials Course with a score of 80% or higher.

You must also:

• Be an RIA Member
• Agree with the Statement of Purpose of the RIA
• Be in good standing with any regulatory bodies that he or she is part of
• Complete 6 hours of continuing education (CE) activities on a biennial basis to ensure your expertise is current.

The RI Essentials course is priced at CAD $1,245, and RIA Members receive a 20% discounted rate of $996.

Since you are required to be an RIA Member to qualify for RIAC/RIPC certification, we recommend that you become an RIA Member before enrolling in your program so you receive the RIA Member discount. RIA Membership is $350 annually for advisors and other individuals.
