Welcome to the new Professional Tuition program for the CPA of Strathfield College!

Strathfield College is a Registered Tuition Provider for the CPA Program, offering tuition to CPA Program professional candidates in 2012.

The tuition provided by Strathfield College can complement the CPA Program distance education program, helping to prepare candidates for their CPA Program Professional Level exams. 

By choosing to study with a Registered Tuition Provider for the CPA Program, you can be assured the provider has been assessed against CPA Australia's strict criteria and quality assurance. 

The Professional Tuition program was introduced in 2012 to cater to an urgent need by the growing CPA Program candidate population in Australia and overseas, for specialized high quality personal tuition services.

These services are being offered initially in Sydney for the CPA Program professional and elective segments on weekends at our City Campus.  Please see the time table below.

The tuition will be provided by a highly qualified and experienced faculty of lecturers who are not only CPA members themselves but also lecture in several large universities and professional educational bodies in Sydney.

These lecturers have already guided students successfully through the CPA Program examinations in 2011 and are well versed in solving common challenges and problems students face when preparing for the examinations.  The teaching sessions are structured to ensure constant dialogue and constructive discussions with students so that all issues are resolved. The classes progress to a final set of mock examinations prior to the CPA Program examinations.
