FAQS
General Questions
Who are these MasterClasses designed for?
Our Kitces MasterClasses are 4-6 hour courses designed for advisors who have limited to no experience interacting with clients. Advisors with five or more years of experience may find the course is not suited to their experience level, unless they're specifically looking for a refresher or to refine their practice in areas that they already have some familiarity.
How long will advisors have access to the course?
Advisors will have 180 days to complete the course. If the course is not completed within 180 days, the registration will expire and the advisor will need to pay to re-enroll for the course.
The content may be modified or deleted if no longer relevant or applicable when considering current industry standards, practices, or legal framework.
Sign up/ Log In
I want to buy the course, but why do I have to make an account?
Our courses are housed on a Learning Management System (LMS) that is separate from Kitces.com. To purchase any of our courses, you will need to first create an account on the LMS, and then click on the picture of the course you wish to purchase.

I’m a Premier Member. How do I use the Premier coupon?
Simply visit the course page on Kitces.com and click the green button that says “Course Sign Up for Premier Members” to view the coupon code. Then when you go to our Learning Management System (LMS) and click “Get this course,” you’ll sign up (ie. create a new account because the LMS is not connected already to your Kitces.com username/password) and be directed to the payment pop-up. When you get to the payment pop-up, click “Got a coupon?” and a field will appear for you to enter the Premier code.
