Want to fast-track your CPA journey? I'm with ya!
In this video, I will be sharing how you can fast-track your CPA journey through GDipPA, a university-accredited program at the University of Toronto Rotman School of Business. If you’re new here, hello! My name is Kat and I am currently a staff accountant. I hope you find this video super helpful!

11:15-12:30 How you can get plugged in
GDipPA stands for Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting and it is an accelerated 12-week summer program that earns you the equivalent of four modules in the CPA Professional Education Program (PEP)! 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!
