ACCA - CAT COURSE (Certified Accountants Technician)

After O/Ls step into a Professional Course and a Degree whilst progressing with the A/Ls.

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants is the largest and fastest growing accounting body in the world, with 260,000 students and 110,000 members spread out across 170 countries. With over 100 years of providing accounting and financial qualification, the innovation of ACCA provides various routes to achieve the qualification of Chartered Certified Accountants.

The CAT course of ACCA provides a route to enter the professional course for those who have just sat the O/L. The course equips the student with the technical skills and knowledge for a support role in Accountancy. It is a qualification in itself and entitles the student to use the designator letters CAT. On completing the CAT course the student proceeds with the professional course and also gains the Hons Degree in Applied Accounting. All these qualifications are collected whilst the student progresses with the G.C.E. A /Level. No other Accounting course offers students this additional benefit.

The Cat course is a boon to students hoping to qualify as a globally accepted Accountant. With no qualifications and no age limit it offers students the gateway to a career for life. The flexibility of the course offers students ample choice and options. They can sit for any number of papers out of the nine needed for completion of the course. On passing the first five subjects the student gains part I of ACCA and on passing all nine subjects, part II of ACCA. The course also allows the student to sit either paper based or computer based exam. As the students progress with the professional course on passing part II they have the opportunity to submit the Research and Analysis Project, the exam of the first four papers. No other Accounting qualification allows such options.

The students gain a Degree in Applied Accounting from the Oxford Brookes University - UK. Thus they get an academic qualification on the way to obtaining the professional qualification.
