Whether you wish to start a career in finance, gain recognition for the wealth of skills and experience you have already achieved, or want accelerated progression to the ACCA Qualification and a more senior position in accountancy, ACCA's Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) qualification will help you towards your career of choice.

The CAT qualification will provide you with a solid foundation in finance and accounting. You will learn all the necessary technical skills and knowledge required to perform an accounting-support role. And after passing the CAT exams, you’ll be able to gain exemptions from the ACCA Qualification and be one step closer to professional status.

To achieve CAT status you will need to complete a set of exams and one-year's practical experience in the workplace. The CAT qualification is flexible and allows you to take control of how and where you study. With a range of internationally relevant syllabus options and the choice of distance learning, face-to-face or self study, the qualification allows you to study at your own pace and achieve a work-life balance that suits you.
