ICAS CA training is suitable for businesses and organisations of various types and size

A diverse range of organisations across the UK – from public practice to business and industry, from multinationals to smaller firms – have gained ATO status in order to train Chartered Accountants with ICAS.

Training CAs at an accountancy firm

Many CA students train in public practice. Their first three years at work will be devoted to achieving their qualification, and they are generally given lots of responsibility from the outset – be it supervising your junior staff, working with your clients or getting involved in a variety of suitable projects – anything at all that can aid their professional development.

Training CAs in industry and commerce

Many industry and commerce employers now choose ICAS to train their Chartered Accountants directly. This helps meet their specific requirements from the outset and removes the need to wait and employ newly qualified CAs from audit firms.

Our TOPP (Training Outside Public Practice) scheme is designed specifically for this purpose and trains students to the same high standards and following the same syllabus as those training within accountancy firms.

Training CAs in the public sector

Government departments and the public-sector always face challenging financial times. As a result, they too have a demand for Chartered Accountants to help ensure their effective and efficient management. In addition to hiring qualified CAs, they can also gain ATO status and begin training their own in-house.

Training CAs throughout the UK

In order to cater for as wide a range of businesses and organisations as possible, we have training locations throughout the UK. Depending on where you are based, your CA students can attend classes in one of the following locations: Aberdeen, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Luton and Reading.
