Amazing Career Awaits

To qualify as a chartered accountant, students must complete a training contract with an authorised training organisation. There are approximately 2,200 ICAEW authorised training offices of all sizes and in all sectors throughout the world.

Around 85% of entrants to the profession are graduates. Training organisations will generally expect students entering by this route to have a proven academic track record, in addition to a degree from a recognised UK university. You don’t need to have studied Accountancy to become an ACA – in fact, only 5% of our trainees are Accountancy graduates.
