Normally, the 4 modules would take 8 months to complete if you are doing it at your own pace. In essence, to obtain your CPA designation you will need to complete all of the following: 1. Academic Prerequisites - Must be completed before you can enrol into a CPA body. 2. CPA Professional Education Program (PEP) - Must complete 4 modules and 2 capstones. 3. Practical Experience - Must complete 30-months of practical work experience. 4. Common Final Examination (CFE) - Must pass all 3 days of the exam. GDipPa allows you to expedite your studying journey by compressing 4 of your core modules into 3 months rather than 1 year (the typical path). It was the best professional and academic decision I could have ever made for myself coming out of undergrad. I hope to pass on this opportunity to you as well!
