🧭 Overview
Founded in 1999, the CLTC Institute pioneered a planning-first approach to long-term care education. Rather than focusing on product sales, the CLTC curriculum emphasizes holistic planning, family dynamics, and the real-world consequences of failing to prepare for extended care needs. The designation is widely recognized by major carriers, broker-dealers, and professional associations including NAIFA and The American College.
CLTC-certified professionals are trained to help clients make informed decisions about caregiving, funding strategies, and long-term financial protection—well before care is needed.
