NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OFREGISTERED SOCIAL SECURITY ANALYSTS\n\nJennifer Piorko MitchellOffice of the Corporate Secretary  \nFinancial Industry Regulatory Authority-FINRA®1735K Street,NW Washington,DC 20006-1506  \nDear Ms.Mitchell:  \nAs the Program Director of the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts Ltd.(NARSSA.ORG),we appreciate the opportunity to comment on continuing education enhancements underconsideration by the Securities Industry/Regulatory Council on Continuing Education.  \nComments are specifically limited to changes under consideration related to Firm Element.  \nThe Firm Element education requirement is currently unstructured and varies from firm to firm.In-housetraining and attendance at seminars and events cannot ensure delivery of an adequate level of training norprovide a measurement that certain knowledge has been obtained by the attendee.  \nWe believe Firm Element education should be limited to online delivery.Any seminars,in-house training oreducation should be supportive in nature only to an online delivery method of course and subject matter testing.  \nNARSSA.ORG provides investment advisers,representatives and financial professionals with an onlineeducational platform dedicated to Social Security and Medicare education and training.We believe effectiveeducation will help ensure that the financial needs of a growing senior population are being met by brokers,investment advisers and others in the financial services industry.Our online platform provides advisers witha five-course online curriculum which is a prerequisite for taking our online proctored exam to obtain thecertificate credential as a Registered Social Security Analyst⁸.As a third-party training provider,these coursesinclude randomized questions to prevent sharing of answers and are currently approved for CE by NASBAfor the CPA profession,by the CFP Board for Certified Financial Planners and by the Internal Revenue Servicefor Enrolled Agents and other tax professionals that have continuing education requirements.  \nWe believe that the CE Council should consider the approach taken by the CPA profession in which NASBAestablished quality assurance standards for delivery of continuing education.The Statement on Standards ofContinuing Professional Education were developed by NASBA and the AICPA to promote consistent qualityin CPE(CE)courses for the profession.A national registry of third-party providers of CPE was thenestablished.These third-parties apply to NASBA for approval of their course content and delivery methodsand adhere to standards established by the Board.  \nWe support the CE Council in considering the creation of a centralized content catalog to serve as an additionalsource of Firm Element content,working together with third-party online training providers to offer a largecatalog of readily available materials that are centrally located for convenience,that adhere to the standards ofonline education set by the CE Council.FINRA⑧should define minimum standards for Firm Element.  \nMichael Rosedale CPAProgram
