CPE Policies for QAS Self Study

Grading Policy

At the end of each course, you’ll be presented with a qualified assessment via the course platform. Question types include multiple choice, matching, and placing items in sequence. Once you submit your responses to the qualified assessment, you’ll be able to see your score immediately. To receive credit for the course, you’ll need to complete the assessment with a score of at least 70%. As no answers to the qualified assessment are released, you may attempt the assessment again without penalty.

CPE Certificate Distribution

Upon successfully completing a course, you will be able to download the CPE certificate directly from the course platform.

Review Questions

Each self-study course contains review questions interspersed throughout the study material to reinforce your learning. You will receive feedback upon submitting each question but your responses to these questions aren’t graded for correctness. Review questions are not part of the qualified assessment.

Survey

Upon completing each course, we ask that you complete a brief feedback survey.

Course Registration

Registration for select self-study programs is available through our website as programs are offered. Registration for other self-study programs is available through enrollment links that are sent out via email.

Advance Preparation

Unless otherwise specified, our self-study programs do not require advance preparation.

Program Cost

Refund Policy

Program Cancellation Policy

In the event of prolonged platform outages or other unforeseen circumstances necessitating course cancellation, Equity Methods will email all participants and post a notice to the company website.
