CPNE, Excelsior

Published

Just passed my final FCCA. That's it. Next step, the CPNE. If anyone else is in the same "clique", please write me! I started Excelsior in 2008/2009...Not exactly sure. Had a munchkin in late 2009 and got completely sidetracked. Never thought I would get back on track, but she's 6 now, and somehow I got back on track and last night took my final FCCA. I plan on signing up for the first-available CPNE, not implying I am ready, I am not! But it would great to hear what other people will do in preparation.

Grace, are you aware of the 7-year enrollment time limit? You need to find out ASAP when your enrollment expires. The wait for the CPNE is long, and if you hit that 7-year mark while waiting, you are dismissed from the program. You can ask for an extension if you have a good reason for taking so long to complete the program, but that request process takes time too.
