LearningMarket.org promises to be a valuable resource for CPAs searching for CPE courses
NASHVILLE, Tenn., September 28, 2010 – The National Association of State
Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) today announced the official launch of its newest
website,
www.LearningMarket.org. This innovative new site is specifically designed to
connect individuals seeking continuing education programs with highly-qualified
companies offering such programs nationwide.
This new website is a continuation of NASBA’s ongoing role as a reliable and
trusted resource to the accounting profession. NASBA utilizes knowledge acquired
from work with state boards of accountancy, firms and individuals to provide
products and resources that streamline regulatory compliance and enhance how CPE
is identified, acquired and experienced.
“We see this as a natural extension of our mission because this website assists
CPAs and other professionals quickly and easily find learning programs that not
only fulfill CPE requirements, but help them become better at what they do,
which ultimately helps protect the public,” said David Costello, CPA, President
and CEO of NASBA.
The website already features over 13,000 continuing education programs provided
throughout the country by more than 1,700 top-quality learning providers
recognized as members of NASBA’s National Registry of CPE Sponsors, Quality
Assurance Service or CPE State Rosters.
“No other website boasts this breadth and depth of premium CPE course offerings
for individuals searching for CPE from top learning providers in the country,”
said Jessica Luttrull, CPA, Compliance Manager of Sponsor Services. “CPAs want
to find continuing education courses that will fulfill their CPE requirements
and help them grow both personally and professionally. Learning Market meets
both of these needs.”
One of the key new features of Learning Market is its free Communities section.
Site visitors and learning providers alike can build a profile, join a
community, as well as begin interacting and networking with peers about
continued learning. CPAs can get tips from other CPAs about learning programs
they have attended. Learning providers can engage in dialog about delivery
platforms and instructional design. Regulators can communicate with learning
providers and CPAs about learning programs and much more.
Other features include improved course searching, detailed state CPE
requirements and enhanced company profiles for learning providers.
Listing courses on Learning Market is a benefit of membership for those learning
providers who are approved members on NASBA’s National Registry of CPE Sponsors,
Quality Assurance Service or CPE State Rosters. To learn how to apply to one of
these registries, visit
