Not too many people put in this amount of work but he’s been living financially free since the age of 33 as a result. As investing is his passion, he surrendered all his executive roles at the age of 33 and became a full-time investor. He also has bestselling courses on dividend investing.

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.

    I have been following this basic strategy loosely for about a decade after moving away from GIC's. Good to see that it is well supported by this course. I see some areas for improvement that I can incorporate into my strategy.
