Course Delivery
The CGA Program is designed to offer individuals the opportunity to study part-time while working full-time and advancing their career. The program offers four sessions annually:
Fall: Sept. - Nov.
Winter: Dec. - Feb.
Spring: Mar. - May
Summer: Jun. - Aug.
The Association recommends that students take only one online course per session while they are working full-time. Students will need commitment, self-discipline and organizational skills in order to succeed at this program. Please anticipate devoting a minimum of 20 hours per week to studies.
CGA offers two methods to complete courses:
Online Learning:
The CGA Program offers students the flexibility of learning without in-class attendance. The entire CGA Program can be completed by distance learning.
Classroom Learning:
The courses may be completed at a post-secondary institution in a classroom for transfer credit. This option is for students who learn more effectively in a classroom environment. Level 4 and PACE courses can be taken through our partnership with NAIT and SAIT. Please refer to the "Transfer Credit Schedule" for a complete listing of courses that CGA Alberta will accept for transfer credit from Alberta post-secondary institutions. CGA students taking the Level 1 - 4 courses at a post-secondary institution may find out more on how to update CGA records here.
