QAS Self-Study Grading

At CPE Today, we adhere to NASBA’s standards for our self-study programs. Our policy includes the following:

Qualified Assessment Requirements: Participants must successfully complete a qualified assessment during or after the program to demonstrate satisfactory completion of the course. A minimum passing grade of 70% is required before CPE credit can be issued.

Assessment Structure: The assessment may include various question formats, such as multiple choice and simulations. At least five questions and scored responses per CPE credit must be included on the assessment, or three questions and scored responses for programs marketed for one-half CPE credits.

Feedback: The decision to provide feedback on the qualified assessment is at CPE Today’s discretion. If feedback is given, it may identify correct and incorrect answers or explain why each response is correct or incorrect.

Retakes: If a participant fails to achieve the minimum passing grade on the first attempt, retakes are allowed. However, specific feedback on the answers will not be provided for failed assessments. If a participant passes the assessment successfully, feedback may be provided at CPE Today’s discretion.

Notification of Grade: Participants are immediately notified of their score upon submission of the assessment. The grade is displayed on the screen, providing instant feedback.

Expiration Date: Each course has an expiration date, which is no more than one year from the date of purchase or enrollment. By this date, participants must complete the qualified assessment to receive CPE credit.
