CCH Learning Center Launches Just-in-time Learning

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., January 29, 2007) – Now there’s a way for subscribers to the industry-leading CCH Tax Research NetWork to earn CPE credit while they do their work, according to CCH, a leading provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services. “Just-in-time learning” connects users to the CCH Learning Center where they can learn what they need to know, when they need to know it, and get CPE credit as they apply their knowledge (cch.learningcenter.com).

“CCH has just taken another step forward in integrating CCH content, learning, tools and applications to save practitioners time, improve their productivity and reduce risks and liabilities,” said Cynthia Kaplan, CCH product manager. “Now, researchers have a quick and relevant way to learn while they work and earn CPE credit that maintains their professional licenses.”

NASBA/QAS-approved CCH Learning Center courses are now linked with practitioners’ research efforts via the CCH Tax Research NetWork’s “Topic Navigator” and “Related Topics” feature. This allows practitioners to immediately access approved courses in the context of doing their jobs – while finding answers to tax questions or refreshing knowledge on a tax area – and earn CPE credit while tackling a client’s tax problem or preparing for an engagement.

“Our subscribers see this as a great enhancement to our products,” Kaplan added. “They find it really useful to have the Learning Center integrated with daily research, so it’s there when they need to learn more. It also just makes sense to obtain CPE credit while you’re already working in a specific area of taxation, and your active involvement in a topic makes the learning that much more relevant.”

The integration works two ways, with links back to the CCH Tax Research NetWork from Learning Center course content as well.

“People taking Learning Center courses have access to the relevant primary materials in a genuine research environment,” Kaplan noted.

CCH Learning Center course content is up-to-date, with practical tips, comments, observations and guidance to help practitioners not only understand the rules, but also apply them to client or business situations. Courses in the CCH Learning Center include valuable practice aids, such as client letters, worksheets, flow charts, tables, graphs, checklists, insightful supplement readings, forms and schedules to help users retain and apply the course information into practice.

CCH Learning Center courses are developed by leading practitioners, educators and speakers, who bring their knowledge and insights to help users handle today’s tough and evolving practice challenges. CCH is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors and as a Quality Assurance Service (QAS) sponsor of continuing professional education.

“For the benefit of today’s time-strapped tax and accounting professional, the web-based CCH Learning Center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so users can do their learning and earn CPE credits at their own pace and on their own calendar,” Kaplan observed. “CCH Learning Center courses can also be easily printed out in convenient hard copies. You aren’t limited by a vendor’s seminar schedule and locations; with the CCH Learning Center you can study and take exams at home and even when traveling.” Learn more about the CCH Learning Center at cch.learningcenter.com.
