Choosing the right course for certified public accountants

Are the course and certificate both free?

This collection contains 117 current courses with no separate reporting fee identified. Every included course has $0 learning, assessment and certificate costs. A provider may also sell other courses; the whole external catalog is not assumed to be free.

Will these credits count for certified public accountants?

CPA acceptance depends on your state board. CPE approval does not establish IRS CE eligibility. Credit counts here include only the recorded tracks for this profession. A listed accrediting body or provider does not establish acceptance by every state board. Review the course approval notes and your board’s rules.

Should I choose an upcoming session or an older recording?

107 scheduled sessions are coming up; 10 courses are currently on demand. Choose an upcoming session if its date and time zone suit you, or on-demand learning for flexibility. A recording’s age alone does not determine credit eligibility. Expired and withdrawn listings are kept in Past & unavailable.
