Amalgamation - Financial Information

Your costs will depend upon your specific situation as outlined below:
  

Students sitting all remaining subjects under the Chartered Accountants Ireland exam system:

The following table sets out the fees charged by Chartered Accountants Ireland. These fees include course fees, study materials and exam entry fees. Please note, there is no "self-study" option when sitting exams with Chartered Accountants Ireland.

*A Reduced fee is available for any subject where a candidate can demonstrate that they have paid for a full course, with a CPA Ireland Approved Educator, in the equivalent CPA syllabus subject and have yet to pass that subject.  

For example, if a student paid for a Foundation Level Financial Accounting course with Griffith College and either failed the exam or did not sit, they will be able to avail of the reduced fee for the equivalent course with Chartered Accountants Ireland (e.g. CAP1 Financial Accounting). 

You will be required to provide a receipt indicating the course that you paid for, and this must be sent directly from your approved educator to Chartered Accountants Ireland.
 

The above fees include access to your course material and exam fees. No further fees are charged to students by Chartered Accountants Ireland.  

• Registration Fee:           Free of Charge 

• Annual Subscription:     Free of Charge 

• Eligible Exemptions:      Free of Charge 

Payment Plan 

The Chartered Accountants Ireland payment plan allows you to pay your fee in three interest-free instalments. To avail of this, you can opt for this plan when you enrol onto each programme.


Students sitting Strategic Level subjects under the CPA Ireland exam system:

There will be no change to the fee structure:

Please note: Students who are sitting a combination of CAP1/CAP2 and Strategic Level subjects will be charged based on a combination of the fees shown above.
