Excellent for Self-Study The self-study format works very well, especially for seasoned CAA and tax attorneys. The test questions should be reviewed because some were very vague. I write this as someone who got only one question wrong --- even at my knowledge level, I found myself asking "are you trying to ask this?" as I went through the questions.

Great course Easy to understand and follow

Good product, but potential test inconsistencies First, the training course was reasonably priced in my opinion. Second, the online modules were detailed and comprehensive. However, I thought some of the test questions were worded in a very confusing manner, and in particular were not always worded consistently compared to the modules or study guide. Also, in my opinion, some of the questions on the 100 question AFTR exam related to specific information that was not covered in the study guide. Or at least, I couldn’t find some of that information in the areas of the guide I thought were applicable for that topic. Examples include: How long does the tax preparer have to pay penalties assessed by the IRS for failure to comply with circular 230 requirements? I could not find any reference to that at all in study guide. Nor could I find any reference to 6% tax on excess IRA contributions. Now, I realize the test was open book, and I could seek the information from any resource available in addition to the study guide. But, as a minimum, I believe the information should be available in the exam study guide. There were other examples as well. Now obviously, I could be mistaken and I totally overlooked the information. If so, I apologize.

Delivery time/Printing Quality Delivery time: it takes more than one week to get physical certificate. In addition, "DO NOT BEND" stamp should be used as the envelope was folded to fit on mailing box Certificate Printing Quality: It looks like certificate was printed with printer ink running low; some letters have white spots.

Certified Acceptance Agent Document Exam I used this platform to complete the training for the certified acceptance agent forensic document portion as required by the IRS. It was straightforward and met my needs. After completing the training, I only missed one question on the test. I received my certificate in the mail in three days. Overall, it was a great experience.
