Surgent has over 100 IRS-approved self-study courses for Enrolled Agents. These courses all count toward your Continuing Education requirements and cover ethics, tax update, and numerous other tax topics.

Our self-study CE courses are available in two different formats, including:

• Online download: these are text-based courses that you can read right on your computer in convenient PDF format

• On-demand webcasts: these are pre-recorded, instructor-led programs that you can stream any time you'd like

With both self-study formats, you can order anytime and get immediate 24/7 access to your course and exam.

As soon as you pass the exam, you will receive a certificate by email and your credit will be automatically reported to the IRS by Surgent.
