Founded in 1994, the American Institute of Certified Educational Planners (AICEP) credentials full-time, experienced educational consultants and school-based college counselors. The Certified Educational Planner (CEP)™ designation recognizes those professionals who have achieved the highest level of competence and knowledge in the educational counseling profession.

To be awarded the CEP™ credential, individuals must meet substantial educational and experiential requirements and then pass a rigorous board-certifying assessment. To retain the credential, CEPs must continue to conduct evaluative campus or site visits and participate in specified professional development activities to meet recertification requirements every five years.
