Hello all!

I am planning to do CPA (USA) course after I appear my final exams ending on 21st November 2014. I wanted to know which classes is preferable for CPA course. I stay in Mumbai and kindly suggest the classes situated in my city.

Secondly which state of US is preferable and what are the requirements. As per the new rules, w.e.f. 1st October 2014, students may appear their exam from centres outside US like Japan, UAE and so on.

Also appearing exam in centres of Dubai VS US .

What are the job opportunities (minimum salary?) and practice opportunities in US as we are Indians so no idea how they treat.

Thank you!

Refer this for 2nd Qn: https://ipassthecpaexam.com/cpa-international-students/

If you appear from US or Dubai cost is same, since theres is extra fees for appearing from UAE, i suggest to opt Dubai since you wont experience Jet lag there.

Job opportunities is very good, specially in Big4 in USA, if you work from USA you may get between $30K-$40K annually (non USA citizen). If you work from India then you may get annual package of 12-14 lacs.

Visit Miles CPA review center in Andheri, Times Square your all querries will get answered there. According to my review theie course structure is the best.

Miles CPA also provides placements services, and approx 100% are placed with reputed companies worldwide.

Min you will get 8-10 lacs and total expenses would be arounf 3.50 lacs to 4.00 lacs

Urvashi, I am also planning to pursue CPA. I have contacted various institutes like Edupristine, concord, miles cpa, orbit.

I think Edupristine is good because it have tie up with Becker.

In my opinion CFa seems to be a better option

I checked all institues namely Miles, Edupristine, Concorde etc and have found Edupristine more suitable. Yes one of their advantages is they do Beckers. Also the duration of their sunday classes is pretty less and compact (11am-5pm).

CPA from US is a very good choice for career growth as it is an international professional degree and for that Beckers material is the best. In addition to material you should also have a proper guidance so that you will be able to crack it in first attempt. Now a days CPAs are in high demand in big 4s.

All the Best.

One more thing I want to tell you about CPA Exams. If you appear for exams from Dubai then there is some issue with your scores expiration and the cost will be more or less same. The only thing that you can save is time.

There are a bunch of different cpa classes available. All of them have different pros and cons. If you like lively video lectures, I would look at Roger CPA review. They have to most engaging lectures. If you want detailed textbooks and study materials, I would go with Gleim CPA review.

I also had the same questions! Fortunately there are lots of great resources out there to answer your questions and more! My favorite CPA review site has reviews on all the top courses like Wiley CPAexcel review. It's pretty pricey, if you're looking for something more budget friendly, I'd recommend Yaeger CPA Review

Hope it helps!
