About the CEPA Program
As the baby boomer generation approaches retirement, one out of two privately held businesses are expected to changes hands. This will represent the largest generational transfer of wealth in history. Unfortunately, numerous studies show that business owners are woefully unprepared to harvest the value of the companies they have built over the course of their lifetime. The Certified Exit Planning Advisor program trains advisors on a disciplined process to help business owners ask and answer all of the personal, business, financial, legal and tax questions that involved in successfully exiting from a privately held company.
This innovative educational program was specifically designed for business advisors who work closely with owners of privately held companies. Using an executive MBA style format, the program is designed around a central case study and uses a combination of lectures, group discussions, case studies and individual exercises to introduce participates to concepts and to reinforce skills.
Certification Criteria and Process
Certified Exit Planning Advisors complete a challenging 4 day program that involves approximately 100 hours of pre-course study, 36 hours of class room instruction, and successful completion of a 4 hour proctored examination.
The next CEPA course and examination will be offered at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business on November 2-7, 2008. The application deadline for this program is October 2.
