Sequoia CPE uses a single flat annual membership so you can complete as many CPE/CE hours as your license requires without watching a per-course meter. The CPA membership includes 900+ hours of non-ethics courses (state Ethics courses are available separately), and the EA membership includes 300+ hours of IRS-approved Tax, Ethics, and Data Security courses with daily IRS credit reporting.
