What you’ll learn

What our students say

"As a history major, the switch to business and accounting was daunting. DAP made it a lot easier: a clear curriculum, competent instructors, and a flexible timeline. It fit my goals and schedule perfectly. After finishing the Diploma, I enrolled in the CMA- Sauder DAP Bridge program to complete the required courses in order to write the National Entrance Exam. After an intense, six-week program I successfully passed the National Entrance Exam in October 2007."
