Pathways to Accreditation
Accreditation may be attained through one of two structured learning pathways, designed to accommodate differing professional needs and learning preferences.
Participants may enrol directly in the CPAdvance™ Accreditation Practitioner Course, which provides immediate access to the full suite of course content. This pathway includes all required modules as well as a selection of electives, allowing participants to tailor their learning experience to their specific professional interests and disciplinary context. This option is recommended for individuals seeking a comprehensive and streamlined approach to accreditation completion.
Accreditation can be gained by purchasing the courses individually and successfully completing the accreditation examination modules.
This means completing the Essentials Course, your discipline specific Core Course and one Build Your Own Learning Journey with your choice of three electives.
Alternatively, participants may choose the Essentials and Build Your Learning Journey pathway. This option enables learners to complete the eight Essential modules as a standalone course before progressively developing their accreditation portfolio. Following completion of the Essentials, participants may purchase:
Small bundles of Core modules aligned with their professional discipline; three Elective modules selected according to individual learning goals.
This pathway offers greater flexibility and supports a staged approach to professional development, allowing learners to build their accreditation over time. Note, the pathways approach will include an additional elective in most cases.
