An Enrolled Agent Exam Review is merely a program to prepare someone who already has extensive individual and small business tax preparation knowledge to take the EA exam (Special Enrollment Exam (SEE)). However, an EA Review is not an education program to teach tax preparation. Our Chartered Tax Professional (CTP) certificate program includes the Comprehensive tax course, plus two advanced individual tax courses, and two small business tax courses (5 courses total). The CTP program (link below) covers most topics on the EA exam. After you complete the CTP program, you should only need to take an EA review class and then you could sit for the EA exam (SEE). There is also a 300-hour experience requirement that must be completed before you can receive your CTP certificate. This is easily obtained working part-time over two tax seasons.
