National Applicant Self-Assessment Tool

This self-assessment tool is intended for applicants who have completed courses (in or outside of Canada) that are not pre-approved as academic prerequisites by a regional/provincial CPA body for admission to the CPA Professional Education Program (PEP).

The self-assessment preliminary assessment results will indicate if applicants are eligible for a full exemption (course and exam), partial exemption (course only) or no exemption from academic prerequisites based on the information provided in the tool. If an applicant is eligible for a partial exemption, they will have the opportunity to meet the prerequisite requirement by successfully completing a challenge exam.

Note: All self-assessment results are considered unofficial and an official transcript/eligibility assessment is required prior to entering the CPA certification program. This self-assessment tool is not applicable for Quebec applicants.
