Bricker Professional Education, Inc., founded in Norman, Oklahoma in 2003, was originally established to provide insurance training and consulting services. Our early course offerings included insurance license exam preparation, sales skills and sales management consulting.
In 2006, we added NASD (now FINRA) exam preparation and insurance continuing education seminars. Based upon an extensive market research and strategic planning process conducted in late 2007, we remodeled our firm focusing upon the development of an array of financial education programs - both 'off-the-shelf' and custom-designed. Many basic-level courses were reformatted into independent study programs (to include virtual classroom supplements in 2009) with an emphasis on the development of intermediate- and advanced-level multimedia courses. Our curriculum and client services are continually expanding as we move toward our goal of becoming the internationally-recognized leader in multimedia financial education.
We are first, an organization of teachers - that is, a diverse group of individuals with a passion for financial education.
In fact, you might say we're teachers on a mission.
Whether you sell financial products, recommend financial strategies, teach financial topics, or make financial decisions for your company, employer, family or self, your financial knowledge will ultimately determine your success and enable the achievement of your goals. Our mission is to help you - through education - to succeed and achieve your professional or personal goals.
Bricker Professional Education will be the global leader in multimedia financial education. We will accomplish this by attracting inspired people and providing them with the flexibility, resources and incentives essential for the uncompromising design and delivery of superior training programs. Our success will be measured by the growth and retention of our people, the educational achievements of our clients, and the profitable expansion of our company.
The foundation of our organization's culture is responsibility.
Our corporate managers are responsible for the value and profitability of overall operations; marketing and registration specialists are responsible for convenient access and administration of our training programs; finally, our course designers and instructors are responsible for the accuracy, relevance, and effectiveness of our training programs.
Ultimately, we will achieve our organization's goals, and thus the goals of our clients, by assuring our employees the opportunity to work in an energetic, positive, growth-oriented environment.
Each member of our training team is committed to the uncompromising design and delivery of superior insurance, finance, securities, taxation and financial planning training programs.
However, unlike many training and consulting organizations who select their instructors solely based upon experience or formal education credentials, we also emphasize the need for exemplary communication skills. While our instructors certainly have extensive industry experience and advanced degrees in their respective areas of professional expertise, we select for instructors only those professionals with the added ability to clearly and effectively communicate their financial knowledge.
Furthermore, each of our program designers specialize in multimedia course delivery - to complement our student's visual, auditory, and tactile learning styles. Whether you register for a traditional classroom, virtual classroom, or independent study training program, you are guaranteed to receive interesting, relevant, and professionally-delivered instruction designed to maximize your understanding and retention of all financial concepts.
