    Hello all,

    So I passed my CPA exam in GA 6 months ago, but I am unable to get licensed because I still need 6 credit hours. Illinois and Georgia are pretty much the exact same in terms of licensing requirements except GA requires 30 hours of accounting credits and 24 of business related (Illinois it’s the opposite, which is what I have…).

    My question is this, does anyone know where I can take really cheap accounting classes online? They just need to be intermediate classes that I haven’t taken already. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Check this out:

    Wiley CPAexcel

    It is $475 all in per course, very flexible. It is essentially a CPA review course. I skipped the lectures and went straight for the quizzes and exams to get through them quicker.

    Congrats on passing the exam and good luck on getting your units done!

    FAR - 7/13 - 72, 11/13- 74, 2/14- 82!!! Best score ever (for me)!!!
    BEC - 1/14 - 75!!! Perfect score! First Pass! YAY!!!
    AUD - 8/14 - 80!!!
    REG - 5/14 - 72, 10/14 - 66, 1/15 - 78 - DONE FOREVER!!!
    I did 5 of the UNA and CPAExcel classes to earn units.

    Ya, I heard about this, but it sounds Iffy. I'll look into it more though. Thanks for the suggestion!

    I am interested in this too. I am also in need of 6 credit hours. Blackhawks why do you think the link that Stephav posted is not good?

    I was actually considering signing up for this once i pass my second exam.

    Financial accounting 1-3 on that site is same as intermediate accounting 1-3 that everyone had to take right?

    I also took federal taxation and auditing so i am thinking i could possibly take Federal Income taxation 2? I took business law but that was required for all business majors.

    Can someone chim in if those are the same classes that are required to get a bachlors degree?

    I'm from California and I was concerned because I took audit and tax, etc for my degree. I called the CBA to see if the repeat courses would be okay. They told me as long as it is a different institution taking a course by the same name is ok. Looking forward to getting the all clear (approved) from the CBA. I know all the states are different, so i would look into the requirements for your state.

    Wow StephAV that is kinda hard to believe that they would allow that. I will have to call Georgia one to see if that is the same case.

    That would make this alot easier , i could just take financial accounting 1 (would not even have to study at all to pass those quizes) and take auditing or financial accounting 2.

    Best option would be to take an online class at a community college

    I'm looking into Louisiana State University. They have a few classes that are beyond the basic upper division classes you take for your degree. They have a Fraud Examination class and a Govt/NFP class. I took the Fraud class when I was an undergrad but I can take the Govt/NFP course but I still need another one. Not sure what I will do when that time comes. I wish they had an Audit II or Tax II course like FSU did.

    I have been on this journey off and on for over 10 years. I think it's about time that I wrap this up.

    If you look into community college, make sure the Board will accept those types of courses. In Florida, community college accounting courses are not accepted because they are considered lower level courses.
