NEW YORK — Thomson Reuters recently released Checkpoint Learning’s enhanced Premier Plus CPE Package for tax, accounting, audit, and finance professionals. It offers more than 500 Webinars and 450 online/downloadable courses covering legislative and industry changes in a cost-effective bundled subscription package.

“There’s no other offering on the market close to the value of our Premier Plus CPE Package,” says Ken Koskay, vice president of Learning Solutions, Thomson Reuters. “Many of these courses cover laws and regulations that professionals must understand and comply with to be a trusted advisor to their customers. Other courses are designed to help practitioners increase efficiency, grow their business, or improve professional competency.”

Thousands of customers have switched to Premier Plus from other continuing professional education (CPE) vendors since the product launched three months ago.
