The Enrolled Agent (EA) credential is the highest tax-specific designation awarded by the United States Federal Government through the Internal Revenue Service. Unlike the CPA license, which is regulated independently by individual state accountancy boards, the EA is a federal credential governed under Treasury Department Circular 230. It confers full, unrestricted practice rights to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service across all 50 U.S. states and international jurisdictions. At RJ Academia, the Enrolled Agent program is structured as a focused 6 to 8 month fast-track curriculum designed to prepare candidates to pass all three parts of the Special Enrollment Examination (SEE) on their first attempt. Through our official educational partnership with HOCK International, students receive access to world-class study textbooks, comprehensive mock exam engines, and extensive question banks aligned with current IRS exam specifications.
The SEE examination is administered globally by PSI testing centers year-round. Each of the three exam parts consists of 100 multiple-choice questions (comprising 85 scored questions and 15 unscored experimental pretest questions) with a time duration of 3.5 hours and a 15-minute scheduled break. Candidates maintain the flexibility to sit for the three parts in any sequence.
