CPAWSB and the CPA Professional Education Program (PEP)

The CJG requires applicants (employers/employees) to submit supporting documentation. The following information may assist learners and employers with the CJG application process.

The CPAWSB is a private training provider that delivers the education component of the CPA certification program in Western Canada on behalf of the provincial and territorial CPA bodies. The CPA certification program does not qualify for credit toward post-secondary credentials.

All CPA certification program instructional hours for each CPA PEP module are delivered by Session Leaders. Session Leaders must have a Canadian CPA designation in good standing with their provincial CPA body, a Bachelor's Degree (Master's Degree is preferred), and in-person teaching experience.

Each CPA PEP module requires candidates to attend a mandatory two-day weekend workshop (in-person or online) which runs 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM both days for a total of 14 hours of in-class instruction. At the workshop, candidates will complete individual and group work activities related to developing both technical and enabling competencies. Note: Core 1 has two mandatory two-day weekend workshops.

*The minimum required training instructional hours is 21 hours. Therefore, for modules with less than 21 instructional hours, more than one module will need to be applied for on a single CGJ application. For an example of a potential application timeline and plan, see below.

Example of a CJG Application Plan

Below is a sample CJG application plan designed to cover all eligible costs of the CPA certification program. The plan considers the CJG application requirements and follows a typical candidate education path. Note that alternative education paths for candidates are possible while considering and meeting the CJG application requirements.

This example meets the following CJG requirements:

All courses within one application must all start within six months of the application being approved;
All courses within one application must all be completed within 52 weeks of the application being approved; and
The instructional hours within one application must total more than 21 hours.

Please note that module registration usually happens in the session just before the module starts.
