CPA education, whether CPA preparatory courses or modules in the CPA Professional Education Program, is considered a part-time academic program that is designed for post-secondary graduates and working professionals. The CPA Western School of Business (CPAWSB) delivers CPA education, but is not a post-secondary institution and does not qualify for government student loans. Possible options for financing your education include grants, loans, scholarships and bursaries.
The CPA program is registered as a part-time academic program and therefore does not qualify for government student loans; however, many learners enroll in courses and modules in CPA preparatory courses and CPA PEP and receive financial assistance through other means.

A line of credit is a type of loan that lets you borrow money as needed to a pre-set limit. You can borrow money from a line of credit, pay it back and then borrow again, up to your credit limit.
While studies through CPAWSB do not qualify for the government student loans, getting a bank line of credit might be an option. The interest rates on lines of credit may be lower than the rates offered on government student loans. But the difference is that you’ll have to start paying interest as soon as you borrow money from a line of credit.
