Certified Public Accountants Connecticut is a two-tier state. Once an individual has met all requirements to become a CPA (i.e., education, exams, ethics and experience), they may apply for the first tier, a qualified certificate. The qualified certificate is a pre-requisite to becoming registered or licensed for first time applicants. It is not an "active" status and does not allow the holder to practice as a CPA or use the designation CPA on any materials. Once you have qualified for a certificate, the second tier would be to either obtain an active certificate registration or an active license.
