What criteria do self-study courses have to meet to be acceptable?
All self-study CPE programs accepted for credit must be taken from sponsors registered with NASBA or with the AICPA or other such organizations as approved by the Board. (Refer to NASBA’s sponsor registry listing at www.nasbatools.com or www.qas.nasbatools.com.) Self-study programs must: 1. guide the participant through the learning process by eliciting responses to test for understanding of the material (provide study questions throughout the material.) 2. offer evaluative feedback to incorrect responses and provide reinforcement feedback to correct responses. 3. include a test at the end of the course with different questions from those found throughout the course. 4. have been pilot tested by a sample group of at least 3 professional participants to determine the number of CPE credits recommended, based on average completion time. 5. be based on materials specifically developed for instructional use.
