The Oxford Princeton Programme, the world's leading provider of training solutions to the energy and commodity industries, now makes earning continuing education credits easier by attaining accreditation for PrincetonLive.coms web-based training portfolio through the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. The rigorous and esteemed accreditation of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits comes after a review by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) and gives authorization to PrincetonLive.com to award credits to those who have successfully completed the online coursework. PrincetonLive.com is the web-based training extension of The Oxford Princeton Programme.

The National Registry of CPE Sponsors, which NASBA oversees, identifies PrincetonLive.com as a quality provider of continuing professional education that can award credits upon successful completion of a web-based training module. In order to achieve accreditation, PrincetonLive.coms web-based modules were examined under the nationally recognized standards for internet-delivered coursework. Accountants, both public and certified public, and professionals who are continuing their education can take advantage of maintaining and expanding their skill sets through the ease of online courses from PrincetonLive.com while also receiving the required number of CPE credits.

PrincetonLive.com offers web-based training for the energy and commodity industries on topics such as credit risk management, commodity futures and options, value-at-risk, and more. The web-based learning format typically takes two hours to complete, but users are given the flexibility of taking the course in one sitting or breaking it up into smaller sessions that fit the learner's schedule, skills, and experience. The course is available 24 hours a day, at anytime of the year from any internet-enabled pc giving the user the most flexibility for their learning schedules. The module includes interactive quizzes and concludes with a comprehensive test. Following the successful completion of the test, PrincetonLive.com awards the student with two CPE credits.

The Oxford Princeton Programmes instructor-led workshop extension, the Princeton Energy Programme, is also registered as a qualified sponsor; awarding continuing professional education credits.
