Overview
ACCA’s
Accounting Technician qualification is a combination of study and practical
experience, designed to build your knowledge in accountancy, IT and
management.
With an
emphasis on flexibility and opportunity, the qualification is accessible to
anyone aged 16 years or older. There are no time constraints to complete
your examinations, so you can study and qualify at a pace which suits you.
Your previous examinations may also entitle you to exemptions from certain
examinations. This will ensure your point of entry is the most suitable for
your level of knowledge and skills and will prevent you repeating areas
with which you are familiar.
On
completion of the qualification, you will be able to call yourself a
Certified Accounting Technician and use the designed CAT after your name.
You will
also be eligible for automatic transfer to the ACCA Professional Scheme
qualification, and entitled to exemption from Part 1 (Knowledge Module) of
