CPE For Certified Public Accountants (CPAs)
The self-study courses and exams in the Learning Center may informally qualify for self-determined CPE. Many states have a process for CPAs to self-determine whether a program qualifies as acceptable continuing education. For example, Massachusetts, which does not have a registration requirement for CPE programs, allows CPAs to self-determine and self-report their continuing education activities. CPAs are encouraged to take our courses and exams and determine whether they comply with their states' rules for CPE credits. Please note that for its live webinars, myStockOptions has been approved as a registered sponsor on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. Live webinars at the myStockOptions Webinar Channel offer CPE credits.
CE For CFA Charterholders
Chartered Financial Analysts (CFAs) are encouraged to take our courses and exams and include them when they self-document their continuing professional development in the online CE tracker on the CFA Institute website.
