ACCA's Certified
Accounting Technician Qualification (CAT) has a combination
of study and practical experience, designed to build knowledge
in accountancy, IT and management. Whilst a student will
learn the ins and outs of double entry are bookkeeping
and advanced accounting concepts. A fully qualified Certified
Accounting Technician will also be trained to manage themselves
and their departments. Accounting Technicians will also
have an understanding of the law as it relates to company
accounts.
Becoming
an Accounting Technician
With an emphasis
on flexibility and opportunity, the CAT qualification
is accessible to anyone aged 16 years or older. There
are no time constraints to complete your examinations,
so a student can study and qualify at a pace which suits
you. Candidate’s previous examinations may also
entitle him/her to exemptions from certain examinations.
This will ensure point of entry is the most suitable for
level of knowledge and skills and will prevent repeating
areas with which they are familiar.
HSC/O Level Pass with 16 years age and that means a candidate
of 16 years of age with SSC holders can join the course.
The
ACCA Certified Accounting Technician qualification is
recognized all around the world as one of the most comprehensive
accounting qualifications. It consists of three levels
– Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced –

department, can do your work experience at any time. The
Accounting Technician is accredited by the Association
of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
