Candidates take six modules (two core modules, two elective modules, and two capstone modules) that must be completed in sequence. PEP has been designed as a part-time program so that candidates can maintain their full-time employment, applying what they are learning to their jobs as they progress through the program. Estimated time to complete the program is 2.5 years; however, candidates have a time limit of 6 years to complete the program, with one extra year to complete any outstanding experience.
Once the student has completed all six modules, they write the culminating three-day Common Final Exam (CFE).
The CPA modules are challenging, requiring students to demonstrate a strong study ethic, discipline, and commitment. As an employer, you play a key role in supporting your students as they complete the education component of the program.
