Questions
Does this course tell me to buy a plan?
No. It does not say that any plan, insurance or savings route is right for you. It teaches the questions to ask and the documents to read.
Which regulator should I check?
The course does not name one for every place. Rules differ by country and state. Ask the seller which body oversees the plan and the seller, then check the official register in your state or country yourself, if one exists.
Is this financial or legal advice?
No. It is general information. The certificate of completion records that you passed this site's exam. It is not a licence or a professional qualification, and it does not approve any plan or provider.
