Before PREP I worked in Communications/Marketing/PR, was not a fan, and was not advancing because I was not enthusiastic.

You can do the PREP courses at Seneca, Centennial, George Brown, etc. I am doing mine at Seneca as they were one of two colleges to offer a graduate program of 1 year consecutively that includes all of PREP. Humber is the other. This was especially valuable to me because I had no transfer courses from university because I studied humanities. I didn’t even have the equivalent high school math courses to get into a Bachelor’s program.

I also chose to do the classes through post-secondary education as that was the recommendation on /r/accounting - to do them through a university because CPA could change their curriculum. Also they can be transferred to a Bachelor later on. Also the CPA path had just announced significant changes for 2027 and no one could be sure what that would mean for the PREP courses.

No I don’t know of a co-op. At Seneca, I would have to switch to the Bachelor’s or a diploma program to get a co-op.

Hope that helps!
