The National Structured Settlements Trade Association (NSSTA) announced May 7, 2021 a partnership with the The University of Texas McCombs School of Business for its Certified Structured Settlement Consultant (CSSC) and Master Structured Settlement Consultant (MSSC) credentialing programs.

What is a Certified Structured Settlement Consultant?

Certified Structured Settlement Consultant, also known by the acronym CSSC, is a professional designation or credential that is earned as the result of successful completion of a professional credentialing program established by the National Structured Settlements Trade Association (NSSTA) in conjunction with University of Texas McCombs Business School. The CSSC training program is hosted annually in Austin Texas from 2021. NSSTA has been awarding the CSSC to NSSTA members who qualify, since 1994.

What Does It Take To Be A Certified Structured Settlement Consultant?

A Certified Structured Settlement Consultant should possess the fundamental body of knowledge required for success in the structured settlement profession having completed more than 60+ hours of study, having met an experience requirement and having successfully passed a comprehensive examination.

Advanced Structured Settlement Consultant Credentials Available

An advanced professional designation called the Master Structured Settlement Consultant (MSSC) was established in 2014.

I have been a Certified Structured Settlement Consultant for over 25 years and was one of the first 25 members of the structured settlement industry in the inaugural Master Structured Settlement Consultant class who earned the MSSC designation.  Plaintiffs and their family members, defendants, lawyers, claims professionals and judges should look for professional credentials such as the CSSC and MSSC when considering who to work with.
