CAT Training Program
The Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) qualification is issued by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA), which is the largest international accountancy body. The CAT program offers a deploma-level qualification which may be completed in as little as two years.
The CAT qualification is a highly regarded accounting technician qualification designed for people who are looking to start a career in finance, achieve recognition for the skills and experience already gained in employment or gain accelerated entry to the ACCA program.
