This one-year pre-professional entry qualification designed by ACCA provides students with all the necessary technical skills and knowledge required to perform an accounting-support role.
CAT graduates attempting to pursue the ACCA qualification are granted exemption from the Knowledge Module (three papers) and thus may progress directly to the Skills Module (six papers).

Through this pathway, SPM students can complete the CAT and ACCA Qualification within three years.
The CAT qualification is internationally recognised and highly regarded by employers, as qualified accounting technicians are required in every organisation. Opportunities are available in every sector, from government to the accounting and finance industry as well as industrial operations and powerful businesses.
Obtaining CAT also ensures that students are technically competent in all aspects of accounts support, upon completion of this rigorous and flexible programme. This qualification also allows them to fast-track towards being a qualified accountant.
CAT covers the key areas of financial accounting, management accounting, taxation and finance.
