Common CE questions

Can I use LumiQ for my designation if I am not a CPA?

In many cases, yes. Many designations accept continuing education that meets core criteria like relevance and verifiability. LumiQ is designed to meet those standards.

What makes LumiQ eligible?

Accounting and finance designations typically require continuing education (CE) to satisfy three main requirements:

  • Relevance: The content must be directly applicable to your professional role.

  • Structure: The learning must be structured with clearly defined objectives.

  • Verification: Completion must be verifiable through official documentation.

LumiQ is specifically designed to meet these CE standards by offering:

  • Defined learning objectives for every episode

  • Quizzes and assessments to reinforce interactive learning

In addition, LumiQ is a NASBA-approved provider in the United States and supports verifiable CPD frameworks in Canada, the UK, and globally.

Does LumiQ need to be pre-approved by my organization?

Not always. Many frameworks allow professionals to choose relevant learning as long as it meets their requirements.

What if my designation has strict CE requirements?

You should confirm with your designation or governing body if:

  • Specific course types or providers are required

  • You need to satisfy subject-specific requirements, such as ethics

  • Formal pre-approval is mandatory

Is always advisable to check with your governing body or designation if you have any questions about specific rules related to course types or subject areas.

Yes. LumiQ is a valuable resource for continuing professional development across various accounting and finance functions and positions including:
