401(k) plan implementation, communication, and administration are some of the hardest and most complex tasks undertaken by organizations. So much so, that many organizations outsource their administration to a third party rather than provide 401k training for employees.

But is this cost-effective? Good for the organization? And who trains the third party, and where do you go if you want to save money and do it yourself? The answer: our 401(k) Training &Certification Program, which helps you to provide 401k training for your employees.What You'll Learn:Our 401(k) Plan Training & Certification Program is loaded with information on plan design, administrative options, and compliance requirements to help you provide 401k training for employees to help them understand the many and complex 401(k) rules.

More than just a read-along format typical in printed books, the course includes numerous examples, "Administrative Tips", and "Procedural Recommendations", as well as scenario-based, multiple choice interactive quizzes (with answer rationale provided) that test your ability to apply the correct procedures and processes learned during training that are key to 401(K) administration. And when you have completed the course, you can test to earn a "Certified 401(k) Administrator" designation.

By taking this course, you will learn:

• What documentation is required to implement and operate a 401(k) plan
  
• Which employees can be specifically included or excluded from plan participation
  
• How to properly handle loans, distributions, vesting, and taxation
  
• How to properly administer plan forfeitures
  
• To understand and comply with non-discrimination rules and/or perform non-discrimination tests
