New in Fall 2024, participants in the Cap Table and Exit Waterfall Masterclass can now optionally earn continuing professional education (CPE) credits from taking the course. Here's the details on what CPE credits are, whether they apply to you, and what you need to do to earn them.
What are CPE credits?
Many licensed professionals - in fields from information technology, accounting, and more - are required to take continuing professional education (CPE) courses to continue their education and keep up to date in their field in order to maintain their license. Requirements vary by field and organization, but in accounting, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) requires certified public accountants to complete at least 120 hours of training in each three-year reporting period. In the United States, each state's Board of Accountancy can set their own requirements on the types of credits required, but in general, courses that have been certified by NASBA (National Association of State Boards of Accountancy) can count toward the CPE requirements.
