It provides an online alternative to the live seminar class periodically offered and meets the requirement for intermediate accounting in the joint VGFOA and Radford University Certificate program. This is a self-paced course that has five main sections.

Each section has a recorded PowerPoint slide presentation. Prior to starting the exam, you can come and go from the presentation at any time. After working through the slides for a section you should take that section’s quiz. The slides can be printed in advance for reference and making notes while taking the class. You can take the quizzes as many times as you like. However, you must make 100% on one of the attempts for each section to get credit for the class.

After you have completed all five sections, you need to take the course exam. There is a two hour time limit and you only have one attempt. Once you start the exam, the two hour period begins and does not stop if you leave the exam. There are 50 multiple choice questions on the exam.

This online class offers 7 hours of CPEs.
