Fast Track Scheduling
CPA PEP candidates have the option of completing the core modules simultaneously before completing the elective modules simultaneously. Fast track scheduling is best suited for candidates who are not working and can study full time while taking the core and elective modules.
Candidates follow the same module content, format, and schedule as the existing module schedule, however, candidates cannot choose electives with conflicting exam times. Before registering for fast track scheduling, candidates should consider the time commitment and rigour of the study requirements.
Candidates interested in pursuing this option should contact cpamodule@cpawsb.ca to have their My CPA portal updated to allow them to enroll in Core 1 and Core 2 concurrently.
Please refer to the Fast Track Scheduling page on the CPAWSB website for more information.
