Have you sat down and added up your CPE hours for 2018 yet? If not, now's the time because there are only a few days left.

It's easy to get to the end of the year and realize you're a few hours short. Maybe the event you signed up for turned out to be 6 hours instead of 8. Maybe you thought you'd gotten in the hours but you can't find the certificates. Or maybe you just flat ran out of time this year! 

Whatever the reason, the countdown to earn your CPE is on. 

The good news is that earning that last-minute CPE is easier than ever. 

Online learning platforms like ours are a great way to get in those last few hours (or few dozen, if you're really behind!). And the best part is that you don't have to rely on what we're offering at the moment. 

With more than 800 on-demand courses, you can earn all the CPE you need to keep up with your state's requirements. And even better, you can earn it in topics that actually apply to what you do. 

Take courses in topics you actually care about.

Illumeo understands that not every CPA needs a course detailing the latest on leases - but some of you do! Others might prefer to take a course on COSO or revenue recognition. There are countless options for you to sneak in those last few hours today. 

And for those of you who are missing hours because you misplaced your certificates? You're in luck because we offer totally free CPE tracking. Once you've taken a course, it gets tucked safely into your CPE Tracker. And you can use that Tracker to track CPE you've earned elsewhere by uploading your certificates. That way as you move into 2018 so this doesn't happen again! 

Oh, and we'd also recommend considering creating your very own development plan next year. That way you can plan out what courses you're going to take and when you're going to take them. Because if you plan ahead and get all your CPE out of the way, you can actually enjoy the last couple weeks of December instead of scrambling for these last-minute hours.
