Quite simply put, Fast Track is taking two modules at the same time. Check out the CPA PEP module schedule at www.cpawsb.ca. Candidates can take Core 1 and 2 at the same time, and if they are successful in completing both examinations, can proceed to take two Electives at the same time.

So, you are writing a virtual exam and have some questions? You have come to the right place! Official disclaimer time: we are living, working, and learning in a dynamic environment.

This two-part mini-series will introduce practical, and time-saving study tips split into two parts. The posts will focus on the tactics, that is using a larger goal to work backwards from, followed by tools, the daily tasks we complete to work towards that larger goal.
