Post Degree Diploma
The Post-Degree Diploma in Professional Accounting is a unique program allowing you to build on your existing education with specific courses that will lead you to a career in accounting.
Upon completing this two-year diploma, you will have all the prerequisites needed to enter the Chartered Professional Accountants Professional Education Program (CPA PEP). If you hold a non-accounting related bachelor’s degree already, this program will enable you to complete all the necessary courses for entrance into the CPA PEP program without needing to complete a degree in accounting.
The program enables you to acquire skills appropriate for employers and business owners in the accounting field. This program will be of particular interest if you are planning to expand your career in accounting and provides you the opportunity to pursue an accounting designation in the field. The experience from the program will also open doors to employment opportunities in accounting positions such as accounting clerk, accountant, financial manager, or junior controller.
