ERPA CPE on the Cheap

[austin3515]

Anyone have recommendations on how to get ERPA CPE done on the cheap?

You can get free credits from the IRS. The available credits are limited, but you can't beat the price.

How do you find out about them?

The link above has information on the next one. I usually check the IRS website every month or so to see what the upcoming topic is.

I think SunGard webinars and conferences are ERPA approved and ASPPA's conferences and webcasts too. If you already attend some of those, there's a bunch of credits right there.

Theior webinars are like $200 just for an hour and a half of CPE...

[John Feldt ERPA CPC QPA]

For SunGard, don't you get 50% discounts? (I think you're using their software, right?)

If you're maintaining your QPA with ASPPA that will cover most of the continuing ed for the ERPA, I think (I hope).

Big difference is that if two or three of you listen to a web-cast, if all three are ERPA's you need to by it 3 times.
