Investopedia explains 'Fiduciary Certification'

Fiduciary certifications are distributed at the state level and can be revoked by the courts if a person is found to neglect his or her duties. To become certified, a fiduciary is required to pass an examination that tests his or her knowledge of laws, practices, and security related procedures such as background checks and screening.
