The CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP) is the nationally developed education required for CPA certification. CPA PEP culminates with a 3-day Common Final Exam (CFE). CPA candidates are also required to complete a period of practical experience to qualify for certification. In Western Canada, the CPA Western School of Business (CPAWSB) delivers CPA PEP and the CFE while the provincial bodies administer the experience requirements.
