It's created for self-directed retirement professionals, registered representatives, brokers, real estate professionals, attorneys, CPAs, and banking regulators.

The class is three days with a 75 multiple choice question test at the end, which can result in earning a Self-Directed Industry Professional (SDIP) certification.

"I attended and I thoroughly enjoyed it," said one student. "I learned a lot about IRAs, especially prohibited transactions. I recommend this course to anyone in the self-directed industry."

The RITA IRA Advanced Institute focuses on alternative assets in IRA accounts, prohibited transactions, precious metals, real estate, LLCs, UBTI, audits, legal requirements for processing IRA accounts, and how to reduce fraud in self-directed IRAs. Interactive small group work enhances problem-solving and teaches attendees how to analyze specific technical concerns.
