Can't get into the Accounting Certification Program you want?
Try taking the ACP classes individually. You get the same instructors, the same materials, and the same exam.  In fact, often times you can finish faster than by going week-by-week through the actual program, or you can stretch it out over a year to better fit your schedule*.

*Some classes are offered in the same week, which shortens the cycle time for the program.  Once you've started, you should not take longer than 18 months to complete all courses.

 Note: To obtain certification, staff members employed in service centers will be required to pass an open-book exam for each class (non-service center staff members may also take the exams for certification).  FIN 200 is a full-day course.  FIN 107 and FIN 109 are from 8:30am - noon.
