How does your 1 year subscription work?
The subscription is for 12 months.  So if you purchase the 1 year subscription in November 2013 you can earn your cpe requirements for 2013 and also 2014.  Essentially you could take unlimited courses in both 2013 and 2014.  Your subscription would run for 365 days.

After you order the Subscription, your Account will be activated within minutes.  At that point your price for all of our courses (Most Ethics Included!) will become $0.00.   Then simply order whatever courses you wish to take at no additional charge!

 
Can I Order Physical Book Courses with my Subscription?
Access to Tests and Certificates for Book Courses are included with your Subscription.  Due to costs we will have to charge you extra to ship you a Book.  We recommend you order the "Test Only" and purchase a used book from Amazon... you will often pay less than half of what we have to charge!  ^_^

How do I know if my state will accept your credits?
Please CLICK HERE to view the requirements for your State.

 
What score is required to pass a test and how often can I retake a test if I don't pass the first time?
A score of 70% or better is required to pass most of our self study CPE courses unless state requirements require a different passing grade for a specific course. You may take our tests as many times as you would like; current CPE guidelines do not limit the number of times a test may be taken.

 
How long are your Tests and in what format are they written?

Our tests include an average of 5 Multiple Choice questions for each CPE credit hour offered. For example, a CPE test worth 20 credit hours would include 100 questions.

 
Once I start taking the Test online, is it timed?

No. You have as much time as you would like to complete the test.  If you see a timer in a quiz it is simply for curiousity and doesn't mean anything to your scoring or credit.

 
If I quit a Test in the middle can I come back to it?

Yes. Every 5 questions you will have the option to click Next.  The system will remember the last answers you entered when you clicked "Next" and return you to the questions you still hadn't answered.

 
How often can I retake a test if I don't pass the first time?

You have one year from the purchase date to complete and pass the course.  Current CPE guidelines do not limit the number of times a test may be taken.

 
What do you send me when I finish the course?

Our system will allow you to immediately print your certificate when you successfully pass each Test.

 
Do you offer Group Discounts?

Yes. Simply call us at 1-888-908-9106 and we will work out a fair discount based on the size and needs of your Group.

 
Can I prepay with a check instead of using a credit card?

Yes. Simply utilize the payment option "Cash/Check/PO" during checkout.  If you do not see that, please call us and we will make it available to you.   In most cases we will activate the account and email you upon receiving the payment.

  • The CPE Discount Store offers a great selection of online CPE courses.   I was able to complete my course on my time frame which is a great way to take CPE.  Having the book as a reference for future work was also helpful.

Love the courses. Wish there was more selection!

This has to be one of the most poorly written courses I have ever taken. There were typos, conflicting answers in the review questions, poorly-worded statements and questions. I\'ve taken many better ethics courses over the years. This course was a disappointment!
