QAS Self-Study
Quality Assurance Service (QAS) Self-Study is a NASBA-approved delivery method for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit. It is an educational program completed individually without the assistance or interaction of a real time instructor. QAS Self-Study programs elicit participant responses to test for understanding of the material throughout the course using chapter review questions or knowledge checks. Appropriate feedback is provided to each of the participant’s response to aid in comprehension. Satisfactory completion of the program to earn CPE credit is confirmed through a qualified assessment at the end of the program.
