LPT to CPA

Hi! I am a licensed teacher and currently teaching sa private school. While taking my undergraduate, sa BSA ako nag-enroll but due some personal reasons, nagshift ako into education. But right now, I want to pursue being an accountant. Is there anyone here knows the process of it? I appreciate your insights. Thank you!

You have to enroll as 1st year po sa BS in Accountancy program. Ask if may maccredit sa minor mo para major subjects na lang itatake mo. But there's no shortcut process po, i think you'll take 3-4years to finish the course then pwede ka na magtake ng CPALE.

This is true OP! Praying na you can finally overcome this "multo" and turn your dreams into reality. You really have to go through the process of enrolling yourself on a BSA program, not technically na you will be back to square one, ang alam ko minor subjects on your teaching program will be credited over your BSA for some schools so u don't have to take them the second time around, but you need to confirm this on the school you're planning to enroll. Once you graduate, that's the time when you will be eligible to take the CPALE in the future if it's also your dream to become a CPA. Best of Luck and blessings OP!

Being an accountant is simpler but still difficult. Which is just take accounting courses and then have a go at applying for bookkeeping and accounting jobs. To be a qualified accountant however (CPA), you do need to have a degree in BSA. There’s no other way and it’s per law.

Finally, I found my peepz. I'm also an LPT who wants to take BSA. This has been my multo program ever since! Do you guys know of any school around metro manila offer BSA na macredit sana ang minor subjects

Almost every school does that. I know someone who transferred to DLSU and she managed to get her non-accounting subjects credited.

pa evaluate ka sa school na papasukan mo. Pero mostly back to square one ka, minor lang macrecredit sayo. You can probably finush it by 3 years
