Become a CA and the sky is the limit
There has never been a better time to train as a Chartered Accountant (CA). The services of a CA are always in demand and you can look forward to an interesting and varied career with great job prospects. What’s more you don’t even need to have studied a degree in accountancy. What is important is that you’re a good communicator, ambitious and ready to enjoy the opportunities and financial rewards that come with having the prestigious CA qualification.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) is the world’s first professional accountancy body – and the first to adopt the designation ‘Chartered Accountant’. The letters ‘CA’ can still only be used in the UK by members of ICAS.
As an ICAS-trained Chartered Accountant, you’ll have a lot to offer potential employers. And you’ll benefit from a stable and defined career path, as well as international opportunities. You can choose to train throughout the UK, Luxembourg and the Channel Islands in a variety of organisations including public practice, accountancy firms, and through the TOPPs (Training Outside Public Practice scheme) there’s a wide range of employers in industry and commerce you can train with.
All-round training
You don’t just need a head for figures. What is important are strong business, communication and leadership skills because you won’t be spending all day working on spreadsheets!
ICAS are the only accountancy body to train and examine all of its students and our lecturers are all qualified accountants. What does that mean for you? That employers all over the world recognise that the CA qualification stands for consistency and high standards.
