Yes, LumiQ is a NASBA-approved provider through the Quality Assurance Service (QAS) Self-Study delivery method. Our episodes meet NASBA standards for CPE credit, offering high-quality content, clear learning objectives, and certificates of completion.

LumiQ offers QAS Self-Study programs, known as episodes, which qualify for CPE credit in accordance with NASBA standards. To maximize learning, these episodes include interactive chapter quizzes that provide immediate and pertinent feedback. Users who complete an episode and pass a qualified assessment after listening to the entire program will receive a certificate of completion for their CPE credit.

However, as state requirements can vary, LumiQ advises CPAs and other designated professionals confirm acceptance with their state board, jurisdiction, or credentialing organization to ensure compliance with continuing education requirements.

Many professionals find that NASBA-approved learning supports the skills and knowledge required for their designation, especially when the topic directly relates to their day-to-day work.

If you’re unsure whether a LumiQ course will be accepted for your specific designation, we recommend checking your organization’s CPE/CE guidelines or reaching out to them for confirmation.

Users are responsible for tracking, documenting, and reporting their CPE hours. LumiQ does not report CPE credits directly to external boards or accrediting organizations.
