Can you tell me if your company pays for your employees' continuing education and exams and what kind of rewards you offer for successful completion? Bonuses, raises, etc.

We use ASPA courses as study materials. Our company covers the expenses for materials (We have access to all of the supplemental reading online and supply interested employees with the study manual.) and exams for your first attempt at taking any of the exams. Should you fail an exam the company will still pay for the materials but you are responsible for paying the exam fee.

PA-1 class is taught in house. We meet for 30 minutes to 1 hour every other week and cover 4 chapters per week. We have been offering this class once per year.

Currently we do not have a C-1 or C-2 (DC) class. But, we do have employees taking the C-1 exam this fall.

A small bonus is paid along with an additional piece for everyone that takes and passes the exam when you do. The bigger "bonus" comes with slary increases for the employees "increase in knowledge and therefore value to the company."
