"What is a training contract?

A training (learnership) contract is an agreement between an accredited employer (the AGSA) and a candidate, which is entered into so that the candidate may meet the practical experience requirements for the profession.

It is a period of practical experience required and regulated by the professional body that a student will have to complete over and above the expected qualifications to become a chartered accountant.

Who can apply?

Enthusiastic, dedicated individuals who are passionate about South Africa, the public sector and making a difference in the lives of fellow South Africans. Such a candidate should also meet the selection criteria as detailed below.

What are the selection criteria?

A candidate should, preferably, be in possession of a Saica-accredited certificate in the theory of accounting (CTA), or at a minimum, a Saica-accredited undergraduate degree. These candidates will also go through a selection process intended to choose the most suitable candidates for the AGSA.

What should you expect?
