BPP University Business School in association with The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and KPMG (the professional services firm) have designed a unique, fast-track route for graduates, accredited by and leading to the ICAEW Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification.Compared to the traditional, integrated, part-time routes to qualification, which take three years to complete, this innovative route offers a fantastic alternative study method for graduates wishing to become qualified ICAEW Chartered Accountants.Graduate trainees study full-time, with two work placements and complete 14 of the 15 ICAEW Professional Accounting examinations within their first year of employment with KPMG. Six of these examinations will be taken with BPP University as part of the Graduate Diploma in Accounting programme, the other eight examinations will be taken with the ICAEW Professional Accounting BodySuccessful completion of the entire study route will lead to the award of the Graduate Diploma in Accounting (GDA) from BPP University (7 Modules providing exemption from 6 ICAEW Exams) and also the ICAEW Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification.
Students are employed by KPMG from the outset and paid a competitive graduate salary. All first attempt tuition and exam fees are covered by KPMG.
