I guess in your case, you might actually apply this knowledge in your career, so there is value in taking the courses through CPA, but I would still give AU a look. It's well set-up in the virtual environment, and I have found that the online exams have not been as brutal as I thought paper-based ones would be.

It sounded to me like they are doing their articling and PEP modules en route to a CPA designation, not undergrad accounting courses.
