CEBS stands for Certified Employee Benefit Specialist, which is a job in human resources and departments that handle company and employees benefits. To become a specialist, you must achieve a CEBS certification. To pass your certification, you must first finish courses on subjects like health insurance, retirement plans, and HR and then take an exam based on those courses. In the past, the requirements included six required core courses and two elective courses based on your interests and specialization. However, CEBS recently streamlined the program; be sure to check online to ensure you are following the approved course directions. When you complete the course, you must follow the Pledge of Conduct written by the IFEBP and follow a set code of professional ethics.
