Bring the PEBC™ Curriculum in-house
When your entire employee benefits team is trained to the same high standard, client service improves across the board. The PEBC™ On Demand program gives firms a flexible, scalable way to bring The Council's Professional Employee Benefits Consultant curriculum directly to your staff — equipping early-career benefits professionals with the technical knowledge, consulting skills, and plan design expertise they need to serve clients with confidence from day one.
The Professional Employee Benefits Consultant (PEBC™) is a premier early-career designation developed by The Council and The Institutes Agent & Broker Group specifically for employee benefits brokerage professionals. Unlike general industry certifications, the PEBC™ was built by brokers, for brokers — focused on the real-world skills your team needs: understanding benefits plan design, advising clients, and applying knowledge directly on the job.
Firms that sponsor PEBC™ candidates report stronger onboarding outcomes, faster readiness for client-facing roles, and improved retention among early-career staff. Because employees can complete the program while working, there's no downtime — the learning happens alongside the job, not instead of it.
Two ways to train your team
Instructor-led and cohort-based option includes live virtual sessions taught by University of Wisconsin School of Business professors and industry experts. It's the right choice for teams that benefit from structure, peer engagement, and scheduled accountability. Participants complete the program in approximately five months at about four hours per week. Tuition is $1,800 per person for Council members.
This option is fully self-paced and available 24/7, featuring video lessons, interactive activities, and simulated exams. It's ideal for firms with dispersed teams or staff with variable schedules who need flexibility to learn on their own time. Participants typically complete the program in three to six months at about three hours per week. Discounted corporate pricing is available for group enrollments.
