Joining Audit Wales means joining an organisation who is just as enthusiastic about your development as you are. You’ll start your professional qualification shortly after joining and within the first few months you’ll take your first set of exams. You won’t go through this alone, you’ll study with the rest of your cohort, building strong relationships and networks along the way. 

Studying can be tough, but we'll be right behind you with full financial support; we cover all costs of ICAEW student membership, tuition, exam costs and study materials; and access to first-class tuition.

Our exam pass is above the national average for ICAEW, and we’ve had a number of international prize winners!

We encourage you to take full advantage of the resources available to you, attending all classes and completing all course tests and mocks. These opportunities will help you build the skills and knowledge you need to pass your exams on your first attempt.

You will also have a buddy to help you settle into your role and will have a line manager who acts as your ICAEW student counsellor, providing you with the support and guidance you need to develop both personally and professionally.

A professional qualification opens up a world of possibilities and ICAEW is prestigious and as such the exams are demanding and personal commitment and discipline are needed. But if you are prepared to invest in your development with lots of hard work, often in the evenings and weekends to supplement the tuition you receive from our training provider, your dedication will bring huge long term rewards. This really can be the best thing you invest in!

Our Graduate Trainee Programme offers those wanting to train as a chartered accountant something different; with a unique opportunity to complete a secondment at either another public sector or a publicly funded organisation. 

This unique opportunity, which provides you with not only the chance to experience another organisation’s culture, but also to develop finance skills alongside your auditing skills.

Our aim is to support your development as finance leaders of the future and as such, we believe that the development of your leadership and managements skills are as important as the development of your technical skills.

Your ICAEW professional training programme is therefore supplemented with a programme of learning covering skills including leadership, critical thinking and emotional intelligence, resulting in an Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) level 3 award.
