Each quarter, students will participate in one online course and have three months to complete it, as described above.  Attendance at the Virtual CE Summit held in each quarter is also required to embellish on learning and receive full participation marks.  The starting month will determine the concurrent study line (example, students who start in September will be finished the program with the Retirement and Estate Planning course)

Our most popular program – the Advanced T1 Tax Update – is a must attend for all individuals in the office who work with clients during tax season 2025, including new and returning seasonal staff members.
