The "best" CPE subscription depends heavily on your learning style, how you prefer to knock out your hours (live webcasts vs. self-study), and your budget. The top-tier unlimited CPE subscriptions stand out for helping accountants keep their licenses current smoothly:

1. Surgent CPE
- Best For: Sheer volume of live webinars and customizable learning.
- Why it wins: Surgent's Unlimited PLUS tier ($899) grants access to a massive catalog of over 10,000 credits. They host an industry-leading number of live webinars (over 2,300 a year) scheduled across various time zones, including nights and weekends. Their adaptive technology also assesses what you already know to shorten course time if you choose self-study.
- Check it out: Explore options on the Surgent CPE website.[](https://www.efficientlearning.com/cpe/best-online-cpe-courses-for-cpas/)
1. Becker CPE
- Best For: Premium, video-heavy, structured learning and brand familiarity.
- Why it wins: Widely recognized from the CPA exam prep side, Becker’s unlimited packages offer a first-class multimedia experience. It is ideal if you prefer engaging video lectures over reading dense text PDFs, and it features a seamless compliance tracker to log your state requirements. It sits at a higher price point (around $699–$899+ depending on promotions and tier), but is often worth it if your firm reimburses the cost.

1. myCPE
- Best For: Budget-friendly, multi-credential tracking (CPA, EA, CMA, etc.) via a modern app interface.
- Why it wins: Offers a very competitive annual unlimited subscription model (often hundreds less than Becker or Surgent), with a robust library of self-study and live webinars. It's exceptionally user-friendly and great if you need specialized or niche accounting/tax topics without paying enterprise-level pricing.
- Check it out: Compare plans on myCPE.
1. CPAacademy.org
- Best For: Free or low-cost live webinars.
- Why it wins: While not a traditional "all-inclusive premium pre-paid subscription" in the same vein as Surgent or Becker, they offer a massive repository of free and low-cost live daily webinars. If you are freelancing or your firm has zero CPE budget, you can knock out a shocking amount of valid NASBA-approved credits here for little to no cost.
- Check it out: Browse upcoming sessions on CPAacademy.

To help narrow down the ideal fit, tell me:

Do you prefer live webinars or self-study on-demand courses?
Are you looking for the lowest price or an all-inclusive premium experience?
Does your state board have any special subject requirements (like ethics specific to your state)?

1Becker Prime
2myCPE

If you’re a U.S. CPA, I’d narrow it to three subscription models rather than paying for individual courses:

Provider	Current published price	Particularly useful for
Becker Prime	$799/year	Broad coverage + compliance tracking + live and on-demand CPE
Surgent Unlimited PLUS	$899/year	Very large live-webinar selection and multiple learning formats
MYCPE ONE	$199/year	Keeping costs very low while getting a large, broad catalog

My practical take

Becker Prime is probably the easiest all-around choice if your priority is simply, “Give me one subscription that makes keeping my CPA license current straightforward.” Its current plan includes 700+ on-demand courses, 1,000+ annual webcasts, state-specific ethics courses, technical-update courses, and a compliance tracker.

Surgent Unlimited PLUS is particularly attractive if you like attending live CPE. It currently advertises 10,000+ available credits, 2,000+ live webinars annually, plus on-demand and self-study options.

MYCPE ONE is the budget-oriented option. Its published 2026 price is $199/year, with a very broad catalog and multiple professional credentials. The tradeoff is that the breadth comes partly from covering many professions rather than concentrating exclusively on CPA/accounting content.

One important point: the cheapest subscription isn't necessarily the cheapest way to stay licensed if you only need, say, 20–40 hours every year or two. An unlimited plan makes more economic sense when you'll actually use a substantial number of credits.

Also, your state board's rules matter more than the provider's marketing. For example, Kentucky requires specific CPE quantities, technical-standards hours, ethics, and—depending on your practice—accounting/auditing hours.

If you tell me your state (and whether you're a CPA, CMA, EA, etc.), I can compare the 3–5 best subscriptions specifically against your license requirements and tell you which features you'd actually need.

I need to find an online course to help me study for my MRI advanced certification. What are the best options available?

ChatGPT SearchOct 4, 2026

If by “MRI advanced certification” you mean the ARRT MRI credential, there are several strong online options. I’d prioritize courses that explicitly follow the ARRT MRI content specifications rather than generic MRI education. ARRT’s current MRI pathway includes structured education, clinical experience, and the MRI examination, so make sure your prep course matches the pathway you’re using.

My top options

Course	Best for	Format	Cost found	My take
Medical Imaging Consultants (MIC) MRI Registry Review

Google AI ModeOct 4, 2026

If you’re a U.S.-licensed pharmacist, I’d prioritize CE that is ACPE-accredited, clinically relevant, case-based, and easy to complete on demand. Based on the current 2026 offerings, these are my top picks:

Platform	Best for	Why I’d choose it
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP)	⭐ Best overall for clinical pharmacists	Excellent depth in therapeutics, new drugs, antimicrobial stewardship, critical care, ambulatory care, patient safety, etc. Its CE Library offers 15+ hours of on-demand content, plus focused microcredentials.
American Pharmacists Association (APhA)	⭐ Best all-around/general practice	Broad coverage including immunizations, diabetes, cardiology, infectious disease, pain/SUD, and pharmacy practice. Its library currently includes numerous free courses.
American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP)	⭐ Best for clinical depth/board-certified pharmacists	Particularly strong for ambulatory care, critical care, emergency medicine, geriatrics, oncology, pediatrics, and clinical reasoning.
Pharmacy Times Continuing Education	⭐ Best free/convenient option	Large catalog with hundreds of activities and many free programs; particularly useful for keeping up with new therapies and practical clinical topics.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Microcredentials	Best focused learning	Short 2–6-hour programs designed around a specific skill/topic—great if you don't want to sit through long courses.

My recommendation

If you want one platform: go with ASHP. Its content is particularly strong if you're practicing in a hospital, health system, ambulatory care, or clinical role. The CE Library is self-paced, with activities generally ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

If you want to spend $0: combine APhA + Pharmacy Times CE. APhA currently lists free courses on topics such as influenza, COVID-19 vaccination, HIV therapy, CGM, and pneumococcal vaccination. learn.pharmacist.com Pharmacy Times has a particularly large free-CE catalog.

If you're trying to become a stronger clinical pharmacist: add ACCP. Its clinical sessions and case-based material are more specialized and are particularly useful for pharmacists pursuing or maintaining BPS specialty credentials.

A good ongoing CE strategy

Rather than trying to accumulate CE hours randomly, I'd do something like:

Monthly: 1–2 short ASHP/APhA courses on new guidelines or therapeutics
Quarterly: 1 deeper ACCP or ASHP clinical course
Annually: review new drug approvals, major guideline changes, immunization updates, antimicrobial stewardship, and medication safety
Before license renewal: verify your state's specific mandatory CE topics—requirements vary by state.

One particularly nice ASHP option is its Professional Certificates, which provide 12+ hours of structured, self-guided learning; current offerings include areas such as critical care, specialty pharmacy, and population health.

If you tell me your practice area (retail/community, hospital, ambulatory care, oncology, etc.) and state, I can narrow this down to the 5–10 best specific online courses available right now, including free options and approximate CE hours.
