Technician
CAT / ACCA

The Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) is a vocational

qualification designed by ACCA that will allow you to support the
work of professional accountants. The final-level examinations
are equivalent in standard to the first year of a university degree
programme. Consequently, CAT graduates are allowed to move
directly to Fundamentals Level (Skills module).
The knowledge, skills and practical experience you have gained
while studying the CAT qualification can exempt you from certain
papers and count towards the practical experience requirement
of the ACCA Qualification.
There are nine examinations to the CAT, which are split into
four levels. Each level is designed to test the knowledge, skills
and understanding needed to work in accounting support roles.
As well as completing your examination, you will have to gain
a minimum of one year relevant experience while undergoing
your financial training to achieve the Technician qualification.
When you have fulfilled the criteria for Certified Accounting
Technician status, ACCA will confer on you the title of Certified
Accounting Technician and you will be able to use the letters
CAT after your name.
The CAT qualification could be your stepping stone to the ACCA
Qualification and membership of the global body for professional
accountants.

What is the CFAB
The Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business (CFAB)

Kingdom (UK) as a new stand-alone business qualification.
It provides essential knowledge in the fundamentals of finance,
accounting and business, and can be used as an entry route
into the ICAEW programme.

The CFAB for school leavers

Following the launch of the CFAB in UK, Sunway-TES
formulated an innovative pathway for school leavers.

and provides school leavers with an accelerated route to the
ICAEW ACA qualification.

qualification right after high school. Its unique approach
which allows both classroom studies and practical work
experience offers a holistic learning experience and equips

ICAEW

Exam Structure
The ACA exam structure
The ACA comprises two stages the Professional Stage and the Advanced Stage.
Professional Stage modules
The Professional Stage consists of knowledge modules which introduce
you to the core concepts underpinning accountancy, and the application
modules where you can demonstrate how you can develop and apply
technical knowledge and skills.
Advanced Stage modules
The Advanced Stage is where the ACA demonstrates its world-leading
quality. The modules will stretch you to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach
and prove that you can use judgment as well as technical and analytical
skills.
The Case Study, which is based on a Harvard Business School model, will
test your professional skills in the context of a specific business issue and
challenge you on multiple areas of the syllabus.
Ethics, technical work experience and initial professional development are
integrated throughout both stages. This supports your business decisionmaking and puts your learning into context.

ICAEW World Prizes

Since the inception of this programme in 2004, our students have emerged with the highest marks in the ACA
examinations globally, and have been awarded a total of 6 prizes in the Professional Stage Order of Merit. In addition,
two of our students were awarded the 2nd and 5th placing in the Professional Stage Overall Order of Merit, placing
them in the top 0.5 percent quartile of achievers in the ACA qualification worldwide.

The ICAEW was a natural choice due to its unrivalled global reputation and versatility. It was a challenge
managing the rigorous exams and the demands of work at the same time but I have no regrets.

Obtaining the 1st place and Watts prize for the Audit & Assurance paper was extremely exciting, especially given
the fact that the ICAEW ACA qualification is ranked as one of the most prestigious qualifications in the world.

I chose ACA because it is a prestigious accountancy qualification that not only

provides a solid foundation in accountancy, business and finance, but also helps
to enhance my analytical skills.

studying the ACA has helped me integrate what I have learnt in my daily work
responsibilities. My work experiences have also helped me in my ACA papers as they
have given me insights which cannot be learnt from the textbook.

Graduates

Our first cohort of students successfully completed the ICAEW programme in the November
2007 examinations. Since then until the November 2010 examinations, a total of 95 ICAEW
students benefited from our tuition programme and graduated as Chartered Accountants. They
are now involved in various businesses and industries, with many holding senior positions in their
respective organisations.
This is a testimony of our team of qualified and experienced lecturers and what can be achieved
on a mentor (lecturers) and mentee (students) basis.

Sunways team of lecturers taught us workable strategies on top of content. Time and again, they have clearly
laid out important areas where students should not compromise and should continually work on, and not merely
study the entire syllabus by rote.

Ms Rozi, my Taxation lecturer really motivated me to aim high. She often told us that we should always aim for
