Fundamentals module

Our interactive module offers tailored insights and actionable steps to prepare you for your first semester. This comprehensive guide will fast-track you to achieving your study and career goals.

Our orientation webinar is split into two parts to ensure you’re well-prepared for the CPA Program.
