The Study.com "Advanced Accounting" course bears little resemblance to a standard advanced accounting course.
The sole recommended prerequisite is an introductory financial accounting course. Traditional advanced accounting courses usually require at least 6 hours of Intermediate Accounting as a prerequisite and covers topics well above the level indicated by the syllabus of this course (e.g., consolidated financial statements, foreign currency translation).
The syllabus looks like it could be an "advanced" course in an associate degree program. I would look elsewhere if the goal was to pass the CPA exam.
