Pursuing CGA while working

[intel6064]

Hey guys, I need some advice on pursuing a CGA. I just completed a degree in Economics... I know the shift from this to CGA is quite big. I am planning to work and take CGA courses... But I dont know where to take these courses. DO you guys know any good schools?? Im thinking of University of Toronto, Continuing Education but too expensive...

If there is a faster way of completing CGA courses, let me know...

Your help is appreciated and badly needed ......

Did you check out the college courses? They may be cheaper; but do note that you need at least a B in college courses to qualify for transfer credit (university undergrad courses need a "C"; uni continuous education courses need a "B" I think.....)

CGA's website lists the equivalent credit accepted in each college/uni:

Hope this helps.

According to their website its a C+ for university courses, continuing education or otherwise. You need a B for college courses though.

You can take courses with CGA but it's probably more expensive that way. It's like $500-$750 per course + an annual fee. This amount includes textbooks though. Your annual fee also gets you a monthly magazine.

it's different for every school

if you take the courses through York's Atkinson or Arts faculty, it's a C

Better check out the 2009/10 course calendar, there's quite a bit of a jump in the coming year. The course fees start from $645 to $1051 + annual fee.

That's how i got my CGA while working as well....

I think it would be better to do your course via CGA, coz if you did it at other university / college, then you would need to pay for a transfer course fee afterward so they can evaluate the course that you took outside of CGA.

Plus, you can choose to take the CGA courses corrspondance, which is cheaper and save more time than taking classes (although they do have the classes option available).

Good luck.

Did you take all courses in CGA or some in your university??? Im thinking that
the learning process is better in the university/college since it is not web-based and we have teachers to guide us?? What do you think???

UToronto offers $600 per course...

Another thing, is there a faster way of completing the courses? For example, having a full credit course in one term, rather than taking one full course for 2 terms..

Um a B isn't high...thought we're suppose to be good at what we do.

Do you guys think takign courses in CGA is better than taking it in the university??

From what I've read on this forum and others, a most definite no. Courses administered by CGA are very difficult and strict.

You'll be better off taking them in an "easy" university (you have to do your research on that).

From my own experience, take all the courses possible outside CGA even when you have to pay for transfer the credit to CCGA, it is much better.
CGA courses are not easy and very time consuming and you only have one exam but if you take the courses outside there are classes, at least 2 examns
which increase your chances of pass the course.

I am a PACE level student and I have a hard time with the online courses, the problem is I don't have a choice, from now on I must take all the remaining course thru CGA.

It will depend on your level. I would advise doing it with CGA at level 4 or higher since it is not a guarantee you will get a transfer credit. If you instead get a challenge then, you'll have to basically do the course twice.

Of course, if speed is something you want, I know of a few who are doing college + CGA courses at the same time.

I'm currently doing the CGA equivalent courses through UofT continuing studies.

I have been told that it is better to take Levels 1 to 3 through colleges/university. It is because once you register with CGA, the clock is running to complete ur CGA.
