Re: Certified Life Planner
I am following the same path. I felt the LNC field was too saturated and decided to branch out my business to include Life Care Planning. I completed my LCP course through Kaplan and then took my certification test through CHCC. The course was all on-line and at my own pace, however, you have to complete it within a year. I took the certification exam about 6 months after I finished the course (because life goes on and I had other things to do).
As far as if there is a market: I feel that there is. But you still have to market yourself. The work doesn't just appear. I have been certified since January and have completed 2 LCPs and just got 2 more yesterday (yeah!)
I would recommend checking out the American Association of Nurse Life Care Planners. Also, Kelynco offers an on-line and in-person training program. This work is not easy - and it takes a lot of time.
You can send me a private e-mail and I can tell you more, if you like.
