About ICAEW
 
ACA stands for Associate Chartered Accountant and is the professional qualification of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). The Institute was established by Royal Charter in 1880 and, being a leading UK body of finance professionals offering world class qualifications, is now a key influencer on the International stage. As the largest professional accountancy body in Europe - with over 128,000 current members working in business and public practice in 142 different countries - ACA's are well recognised and valued internationally as well as throughout the UK.
 
To achieve the ACA qualification you must complete a training contract which will typically last between 3 and 5 years, pass the Institute examinations and complete the work experience requirements. Holding the ACA qualification ensures that your career will be rewarding, diverse and full of opportunity.

Jun/Jul 2010 ICAEW Courses

For the First Half of 2010 we will be offering Professional Application level courses in Financial Accounting and Taxation towards the June '10 sitting. In early March we will also be running a short block course to prepare students for their Computer Based Assessment in the Principles of Taxation paper at the Professional Knowledge Level. For those students sitting Taxation this term and who have not been exempted from the Knowledge Level it is essential that they complete the POT paper first.
 
For students who have now completed TI we will be running a Advanced Case Study preparation course for the July 2010 sitting. We have a leading UK Case Study expert delivering this programme here in Dubai and it is split into a Tuition Block in April and a Revision Block in July. We are also running a full tuition and revision programme for the Technical Integration papers in Business Reporting and Business Change commencing on April 2nd. Please see below for all details and downloads.

Knowledge level papers are also offered under the CFAB banner - please see below for further details.

CFAB (ICAEW) - We also have a courses running on a rolling basis for students interested in pursuing the Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business. This Course comprises of six modules which are all computer assessed and which lead to the award of the CFAB certificate from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales. There are no entry requirements for this course and this is therefore particulary appealing to students who have achieved Xth Grade only but want to opt for a career in accounting and finance.
 
Once all modules have been completed, students will then be able to choose between pursuing their ICAEW qualification or switching (with 3 exemptions) to pursue their ACCA. In order to finish the ICAEW qualification students need to complete a three year training contract with an Authorised Training Organisation (ATO) and several of these in Dubai have indicated their willingness to consider candidates who have successfully completed the CFAB qualification. If a student cannot find a placement by the end of the course they will have the choice of starting their ICAEW Professional Programme (and hopefully securing a contract at a later date) or switching to ACCA.

For further information please contact Erica on ericaj@phoenixft.com

Please note that in order for you to complete your ICAEW studies you will need to enter into a training contract with an Authorised Training Organisation (ATO). This means that you will have to seek employment with one of the growing number of approved firms and businesses or alternatively secure the registration of your current employer through the ATO scheme. The Institute is keen to approve new businesses for the training of ICAEW students so if you think this second option may be of interest please contact ericaj@phoenixft.com and we will be able to help and advise.

Please remember that you do not have to be working for an ATO to intially commence your ICAEW studies and note that there are significant exemptions for those holding other accounting qualifications who wish to top up to add the ICAEW to their CV. Please telephone or email if you require further support or guidance with regard to pursuing this qualification.
