Can someone suggest a good institution for a CPA course or is it better to prepare by myself?

Hey, I am planning to do CPA too and highly confused between instructions and self study, what have you decided so far?

"If you’re very disciplined, self-study can work. But most CPA candidates find it easier to stay consistent with a structured program.

A good institute helps with things like credit evaluation, state board selection, study planning, and mock tests. That guidance can save a lot of time.

Many students now choose online institutes like EduMont because they provide structured classes and mentoring along with help through the CPA application process."
