Student quota
A training employer is awarded a quota when initially authorised to train students. This is the maximum number of ACA students that you can train at any one time.
When setting or changing a quota we consider:
- the range and depth of work experience available to students
- the number of professionally qualified employees who contribute to the support and development of students
- the number of students training for other professional qualifications.
The following may be used as a rough guideline for determining your organisation’s quota:
- four students per partner/director
- two students per member of staff.
The partners/directors and members of staff used in the quota calculation must be a member of a professional accounting body and comply with the CPD requirements of that body.
