If you are based in the Middle East you can qualify as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant by completing the ACA, ICAEW’s highly respected and globally recognised accountancy qualification. The programme is open to university graduates and those that have completed the ICAEW Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business (ICAEW CFAB), as well as members or affiliates of other professional bodies (such as ACCA, ICAI or ICAP).

ICAI and ICAP members

Members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) or the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) qualify for credits for 12 of the 15 ACA modules and are able to complete the remaining elements in the Middle East as an independent student.

Where can you train?

There are ICAEW authorised employers offering training agreements throughout the Middle East and students are able to complete their studies online with our training providers: Kaplan and BPP. ICAEW has partnered with local education providers to also offer face-to-face training in some countries.
