Many learners in Kenya compare the US CPA Course with pure self-study or general accounting degrees. This table highlights how EduDelphi’s structured CPA training differs.
| Criteria | This Course US CPA Course |
Alternative 1 Self-Study Only |
Alternative 2 General Accounting Degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | US CPA (AICPA) exam preparation and global public accounting skills | US CPA exam (if cleared) without structured guidance | Broad academic coverage of accounting and business subjects |
| Best suited for | Professionals targeting global audit, tax and senior finance roles | Highly self-motivated learners comfortable navigating CPA rules alone | Students seeking a local or regional academic qualification |
| Exam structure | 3 Core papers (FAR, AUD, REG) + 1 Discipline (BAR/ISC/TCP) | Same CPA structure but with self-sourced materials and plan | University semester exams, not aligned to US CPA blueprints |
| Time to complete | Typically 9–15 months with guided plan | Often longer due to lack of structure and support | Usually 2–4 years depending on degree level |
| Career outcomes | Strong fit for Big 4, multinational and senior finance roles globally. | Similar potential if you pass, but lower pass probability and more trial and error. | Good for entry and mid-level roles with more limited global mobility. |
