If you have yet to submit training for Quarter 2, this should be done as soon as possible so it can be approved by your mentor and submitted to the Institute by 31 July 2023.
Students in a relevant training role are reminded of the requirement to log training on the
Online Training Record System which is accessed via your MyCPA account. Training should be logged and reviewed with your mentor each quarter.
If you have prior records for Q1 2023, not yet approved by your mentor, you must get these signed off also.
It is your responsibility to submit your records and ensure that they are signed off and submitted by your mentor.
Once your training is approved the “
close quarter” button must be clicked by your mentor, CPA will then be notified for final approval. If there are any issues with the training logged, you will be provided with feedback via email to ensure that you are on track to comply with the Institute’s training requirements.
Failure to log training can and will significantly delay your admission into membership. If you do not have the required training submitted when all examinations are complete, you will remain a CPA student and will not receive your qualification until the training requirements are met.
We would like to remind students of the training that is required by CPA for you to become a qualified member:
- A minimum of three years relevant, supervised training: We regard a full training year to be between 44 – 48 weeks as this allows for holidays and study leave. This means students are required to submit a minimum of 132 weeks/4,950 hours total to qualify.
- In-depth level of training, in two training areas: To become qualified, you must complete at least 26 weeks of Advanced (EvRR) training with at least 13 weeks/487.5 hours in each of the two areas. These two areas then form the basis for your application to membership as you must be able to demonstrate in-depth competence in both.
- Final year of training: Your final year must be completed in conjunction with, or after the Strategic level of studies. It is expected that at least 50% of our training will be at the EvRR level in your final year.
