If you are an International Designate who is an active member in good standing with accounting institutions that are members of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), then you need to have a transcript assessment completed with CPAWSB to begin your CPA journey. If you are not an International Designate applicant then please check out out blog post on the Transcript Reassessment Process.

After your transcript assessment is complete, you will receive two emails with instructions to your next steps in the program.
  1. The first email will contain your Academic Bridging Results.
    The Academic Bridging Results will explain your standing and provide information about which CPA PEP modules you need to take and which CPA PEP challenge exams, if any, you are eligible to attempt. Experience Bridging and additional information and resources will also be available.
  2.  The second email will notify you that your transcript assessment is complete and can be viewed from within your My CPA profile by logging into My CPA Portal and clicking on PROGRAM ADMISSION and then TRANSCRIPT ASSESSMENT.

Re-assessment Process and Challenge Exams

You can request or appeal only after your transcript assessment has been completed and you disagree with your results. Below are some examples where a reassessment can be requested.
  • Your transcript assessment result indicates a course you took does not meet the 10-year currency of education requirement.
  • You have taken a course or courses that were not assessed, and you believe that they should have received credit as a core or non-core course.
There are opportunities to re-assess for partial exemption (challenge exams granted) in some situations or possibly even full exemption (full credit granted) in other situations. See Re-assessment Processes and Challenge Exams for more information.
