Will my course require homework and can anyone get CPE credits?

Sometimes. We have found that providing exercises and assignments for you to complete outside of class is an invaluable tool to help Institute members translate course information into practical skills for building their organization's capacity.
 
CPE credits are available to CPAs. Unless otherwise noted, most courses offered by the Institute are CPE eligible.
