What is CPA PEP?
The CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP) is a two-year graduate-level program leading to the Chartered Professional Accountant designation. It is designed to meet the needs of industry, government and public practice and provide professional accountants with the knowledge and skills to succeed in whatever role or position they take on.
Delivered on a part-time basis, CPA PEP consists of six modules which are offered using a blended learning model consisting of online learning, self-study and classroom learning.
In addition to formal education and the common final examination, CPA PEP requires CPA students/candidates to complete a term of relevant practical experience. The knowledge and competencies gained through practical experience complement those developed through education.
