Practical Training Requirement

Practical Training in an authorized Training Organization (TO) is a mandatory requirement of the CA qualification. This on-the-job learning prepares chartered accountants with the necessary professional skills, ethics, values, and attitudes.
The existing options of 3, 3.5, or 4 years of training will continue as it is with no change.
However, CAF-passed/exempt and graduates will have the following additional options for practical training:
  1. An option of 2.5 years of 1uninterrupted training with reduced leaves.

  2. An option to start practical training after passing at least four papers of CFAP or two years after passing CAF, whichever comes first. Trainees choosing this track will undergo a 3-year training period with reduced study leaves.
It is important to note that once a candidate opts for any of the above options, the decision will be irrevocable.

Additionally, an assessment by a designated person in the TO is mandatory to evaluate trainees’ training output and workplace performance.
