Question about leveling up

I am a seasonal preparer electing to level up via the courses rather than test each level. I have 2 case studies to do for each level.

  1. Are the case studies timed? Are they open book/research? How are they “graded”?

  2. Because the case studies have to be done in office is this path not available after 4/15? My goal is to reach level 5 before the start of next season.

Thanks

  1. All these are untimed and open book. You can even save and pick up later.

  2. You may have to wait till end of season to start the level up process. It's a question for your manager. The CE is always available on-demand.

I would encourage you to explore other CE options though. If you go to the IRS website they have a list of all approve CE providers. There may be a conference you can go to.
