Diploma students are required to successfully complete two years of study and two years of relevant work experience within an accounting or finance environment. For students who commenced their studies in the academic year 2022/2023, this work experience is assessed via the Work Practice Programme.
The Work Practice Programme is replacing the previous Record of Work Experience Document for all students commencing study for the academic year 2022 / 2023 and going forward. Students who commenced their studies prior to the 2022 / 2023 academic year can choose to gain their required work experience under either the new Work Practice Programme or previous Record of Work Experience Document.

Why is Continuous Professional Development important?
CPD is important as it enables you to maintain your professional competence and designation status. The Institute provides you with 30 hours of CPD training as part of your Membership to support you in keeping your knowledge and skills at the correct level required to ensure that clients and employers receive competent accounting technician professional service.
How can I connect with Members in my area?
We have four District Societies - Leinster, Munster, Western and Ulster - which exist to encourage interaction and engagement between our Members. These are established local communities of professionals who further promote the Accounting Technician profession on the ground and facilitate networking in different regions.
Each District Society plans a variety of charity, networking and social events throughout the year, invitations to which are emailed to Members in advance. Once you become a Member, you are automatically enrolled in the District Society relevant to where you live.
