The ICEBS Fellow is awarded to individuals who, already having earned the CEBS designation*, take an additional continuing education course and an additional exam. The designation or recognition of an individual as an ICEBS Fellow is good for one or two years at a time, depending on the track and exams taken. It symbolizes a commitment to continuing education above and beyond the CEBS designation itself, and to continuing to serve our clients at the highest academic level.
*CEBS- is the premier designation in total compensation, considered the standard of excellence in the industry. CEBS features a unique partnership with two leading academic institutions. In the U.S., CEBS is co-sponsored by the International Foundation and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Completion of eight exams is required to receive the CEBS professional designation. The courses cover group health benefits, retirement plans and compensation management. Candidates must complete six required courses and two of five elective courses.
