"I
was very impressed with your site. It was extremely easy to
follow offering
very reasonable CPE prices. I intend to use your site
as a primary CPE resource. I hope you have the ability to
inform CPAs when you have placed a new course on the site."

At any time you can login by clicking on the Login to Course System from our home page, in the top right hand corner of the screen. When you login, you can view the courses you have enrolled.
|
| Step 3 - Take the course |
| |
The course is completely menu driven and will contain information about:
> Course overview
> How to print out the exam (optional)
> How to obtain course materials
> How to take the online exam (s)
Courses and exams may be stopped and re-started as many times as you wish, with no loss of answers. When you are taking an exam, simply advance to the next page of the exam to save your answers.
If the course is "interactive" there will be a Review Questions exam that must be taken prior to starting the Final Exam. You do not have to pass the Review Questions exam, you need only attempt the exam and submit it, in order to progress to the Final Exam.
You must answer 70% of the questions correctly on the Final Exam in order to pass.
|
| Step 4 - Submit your exam |
| |
- At the end of the exam, click on Submit exam
- The system asks "Are you sure?"
- Click on "yes"
- Your grade will be displayed instantly on screen
- If you submitted a Review Questions exam, you do not need to achieve a passing score to advance to the Final Exam.
- If you passed the final exam, you will receive your certificate of completion by email within minutes
- If you did not pass the final exam, you can take the exam again--up to three times
- You can re-take the final exam as many times as needed in order to pass (there is no charge to re-take an exam)
If you don't receive your Certificate of Completion promptly, please email us--usually this indicates the email address was mis-typed, your mailbox is full or a spam filter has filtered out the email (check your spam or junk mail folder if you have one).

|
| How to obtain your course materials |
| |
The online course materials will have detailed instructions on how to obtain the appropriate study materials for the course, including book edition information, links to amazon.com, links to the IRS publications, etc.
You can also access the course materials information at any time by clicking on the course title on the CPE Course Listing Page.
 Tax and Accounting Courses
Obtain the free reading material by clicking on the publication name (in the Course Materials column on the Course Listing page). You will need Adobe Acrobat to be able to print the materials out.
Book Courses
If the course is in the book series, you can order the book from www.amazon.com. To save money, consider looking at Amazon's used books (we have seen some of our selections available for as little as $1.00). Alternatively, feel free to borrow the book from a friend or the library, or purchase it from a local bookstore.
|
| How to print out course reading materials for courses using online materials (optional) |
|
After you open the IRS, GAO or SEC reference material in your browser
(you must open the material in Adobe Acrobat to print the
materials), print out course reading materials by clicking
on the printer icon on the Adobe Acrobat toolbar.
(If
you use File, Print from the top browser menu, you will
just print the first page).
