Cygnet Institute of Personal Financial Literacy Achieves ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems Certification

Cygnet Institute of Personal Financial Literacy has achieved ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems certification from NSF International Strategic Registrations (NSF-ISR) for the design and provision of financial skills education. The standard, built on principles like strong customer focus and continual improvement, demonstrates Cygnet's commitment to delivering consistent, quality products and services.

Founded in 1989, Cygnet is a §501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization (IRS determination 4/15/2016) that brings a field-tested, Kolb-based experiential approach to reducing financial stress and improving employee financial wellness and retirement preparedness.

Cygnet is also certified by www.CEFEX.org as a fiduciary nonprofit educator providing Investment Support Services for 401k plan sponsors and participants. CEFEX certification significantly reduces plan trustees' fiduciary risk when retirement education is delivered by a CEFEX-certified educator. Cygnet's modular design process can build custom Financial Education programs for organizations of any size, cost-effectively.

"We are the highest quality and lowest cost provider of fee-based Personal Financial Literacy programs, that actually work in the marketplace. SMEs conduct the workshops, are paid a fee, and are prohibited from soliciting workshop participants as clients," said Ted Lakkides, CFP® CRC®, founder and president.
