How to use the online training file

The online training file is a mandatory part of ACA training. Find out how you access and review your student’s progress within their online training file.

Accessing your student's training file

Throughout their training, your student must record and maintain their online training file.  
 
You will need to review their progress using the training file during six monthly reviews. You will also need to use the training file to provide final sign-off at the end of your student’s training agreement. 

Resources to support you and your students

Watch the online training file videos 

The training file videos demonstrate what the training file is, how it fits into the overall process students need to go through to qualify as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant and how your students should update and log their progress within the file. 

These videos also show qualified persons responsible for training (QPRTs), Authorised Training Principals (ATPs) and counsellors how to access their student's training files and how to approve work experience.
