  • This course now provides exemption to CICBV's level 1 and level 2 exams. Your exemption does not expire, and it's the highest exemption level in Canada. This is a huge advantage, you'd be stupid not to take this course. Sure, the textbook/handbook and registration license is a lot of money. But if you did your exam/studies through CICBV, it would be way more expensive. You save a lot of money from doing it with UW. This is the best course and the worthiest in the entire MAcc program.

I'm an AFM Alumni who genuinely enjoyed the program, AMA 85 points, 76 comments

“Hello, I'm new to reddit and I created an account just to ask you guys this. I've always wondered why the reddit atmosphere towards AFM kids here seems a bit hostile and overly-negative. …”

u/skilledspellz: “Just a bit curious, you said you went from big4 directly to a finance role doing valuations at a pension fund. How exactly did you do this transition? …”

u/MAccGrad201x: “I don't know if this course called ACC606 is still offered in SAF. It provides exemptions to CBV courses which is what I did. So by taking this course you already have more education background than everyone else. …”

u/daga2222: “Why did you choose accounting? Is it because you value stability, value being part of a "traditional" profession, succumbed to parental/family pressure, or just lack confidence in your self? …”

u/MAccGrad201x: “… That's where I took ACC606. I discovered I have great interests for valuations and finance. I pulled up my GPA with a great mark in 606 and that's where I decided I want to do valuations. …”
