Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.

    This was an excellent course! The instructor laid all the information out in a thoughtful manner. The pacing was very good. Examples were easy to follow. Also, having the segments broken down into bite sized portions was very helpful. I highly recommend this course and would gladly take other courses from this instructor.

    The course provides all the information I need when using Pivot Table. The instructor, Ms. Ashby's, speaks and explains very clearly. The visual part of the course also helps a lot. I find the course very enjoyable and easy to follow. The course materials provided allow us to follow along with Ms. Ashby and have a good practice for each session and module. The exercise materials help us practise each module learned. I highly recommend this course with this instructor to anyone who needs to work with Pivot Table.
