Graduate programme 2022

Start your graduate journey in Assurance

What professional qualifications will I study for?

If you join our assurance practice, you will study for your Association of Chartered Accountants (ACA) qualification. You can achieve this through three entry routes which are dependent on the exemptions that your college course gives you.

ACA qualification routes

Direct entry

This is the route you take if you are joining PwC directly after college. Some degrees will entitle you to exemptions from the first set of exams (CAP1) and you will start with CAP2 exams. If your degree doesn't entitle you to any exemptions, you will sit three sets of exams.

Benefits include

  • CAP 1, CAP 2 and FAE course fees paid (first attempt only)
  • Exam fees paid (first attempt only)
