The American Institute of Certified Educational Planners (AICEP) awards the CEP credential to professionals, working independently or in schools, who have achieved the highest level of competence in educational planning. Only the best and most experienced counselors qualify to become CEPs.

AICEP credentials professionals with specializations in:

• Colleges
• Boarding and Day Schools
• Therapeutic Programs and Schools

"The CEP credential gives a school’s families the assurance that the college counselor assisting their students in finding the “best fit” college has the extensive knowledge, professionalism, and academic background to provide quality advice and effective service."

- Neil, former dean of college counseling (GA)
