OPT Query - Please Respond

[+ve]

If my wife who is an MBA finance from Mumbai, currently working as a corporate banker with one of the top 5 banks in the world comes to the US on an H4 & decides to do a CPA certification, can she work on OPT until the H1B quota opens up next year???

there is no OPT on H4. OPT is only for those who studied full-time in F-1 status for at least one academic year.

As far as I know for a CPA certification she would need to take a test.
