Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before you enroll.

Who can use Advanced CPE?

Anyone interested in learning. No professional license is required.

What is free?

The catalog, articles, and all reading topics. Video access is $100 USD for one year, or free for one year with a valid instructor coupon. Access does not renew automatically.

What do NFP and LAW mean?

NFP identifies nonprofit learning; LAW identifies law-firm accounting topics. Codes remain stable even when the catalog is filtered or reordered.

Are law-firm topics video courses?

No. They are free reading guides with practical questions and exercises. They do not issue certificates.

Does a certificate carry professional credit?

Each certificate shows the course’s CPE credits, usually 1. Whether they count toward your CPE, CEU or PDU requirement is up to your licensing body, association or employer. See Certificates & credit for the exact distinction.

How do course tests work?

Each video course has ten questions. Watch at least 95% and complete any required interactive activity before starting. You have three submitted attempts per course; a score over 70% passes (8 out of 10 or better). Results show your score and pass/fail only, without your answers or the answer key. A passing test earns a completion certificate. Reading guides do not have these tests.
