NASBA-Approved AI & Excel CPE: A CPA’s Guide to Future-Proofing Skills

Can I get CPE credit for learning AI and Data Analytics? Yes. 

But you have to be careful where you learn it.

Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and DataCamp offer incredible technical training, but they often lack the one thing a CPA needs: NASBA Sponsorship. You can learn to code in Python on the weekend, but it won’t help you renew your license.

At EverydayCPE, we bridge this gap. We provide the hard technical skills you need to stay relevant, wrapped in the NASBA-approved package your state board requires.

The “Generic Platform” Problem

State boards of accountancy require CPE to be taken from a registered sponsor. Generic tech platforms rarely go through the rigorous process of becoming a NASBA Registry Sponsor.

This leaves CPAs with a difficult choice:

1. Learn useful skills (like Prompt Engineering) without getting credit.
2. Earn credit by watching a boring, outdated webinar on “Excel 2013 Tips.”

We built a third option: Real skills. Real credit.
