For over thirty years, I presented face-to-face seminars, courses, conferences and workshops, including events with hundreds of delegates. I delivered more than two thousand presentations, seminars, facilitations and conferences in over twenty-five countries. My delegate evaluations over that time averaged above 9.0 on a 10-point scale. (Fact-check on those evaluation scores: For many years, I was a key presenter with four American seminar companies. Their rigorous evaluation protocols, which were collected independently after every seminar, required a minimum average score of 8.7, a score that I consistently exceeded.)

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.
