I am taking an accounting course at a local community college and if I do well, am thinking about pursuing a CPA. How many courses does it usually take before people can take the exam to be certified?

I’m not a CPA, but I’m also interested in the matter.
You’ll need 24 semester hours in accounting-related subjects and another 24 semester hours in business-related subjects.
Minimum degree required is bachelor’s.
Some states require a minimum of 150 semester hours, which means taking classes after you’ve acquired your bachelor’s degree.
Hope that helps.
