Data from the module validation sheet were analyzed quantitatively, and then descriptive techniques were used to draw qualitative conclusions. The results of the study indicated that the modules that have been designed were eligible to be used in the learning process of cost accounting practice courses at STKIP PGRI West Sumatra. These results were based on the results of material validation with an assessment of four indicators, namely the suitability of the material with competency standards, the accuracy of the material, supporting learning material and material updating with an average score of 3.2 by each expert. Expert advice for module improvement before practicing practice is that it is necessary to add information in the example of problem calculation and improvement in language writing.
