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. We also offer the option to obtain the ACCA qualification.
We also have opportunities for a number of graduates within risk assurance to pursue further study in areas that complement our specialisms such as data analytics and IT.
This is the route most graduates take if 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.
For this entry route, you must have full CAP1 and CAP 2 exemptions when you join the firm. You will start your exams at FAE.
If you've already started a Master in Accounting we will pay you a bursary of €2,500.
This is a conversion course that is mainly for students that have completed a non-accounting degree. It will give you exemptions from CAP1. You will then join the firm and start your exams at CAP2.
If you’ve already started a Professional Diploma in Accounting we will pay you a bursary of €2,500.
While most of our accounting graduates study for their ACA qualification, we also offer the ACCA qualification. The timing of study and exams is more flexible with most exams run 4 times per year. Graduates following this route are able to construct a path to qualification with us which suits them and the business area they are working in while attaining the qualification during their training contract.
Some graduates joining our team, in particular joining our DA&A or ITRA areas, may study a Masters in Computing during their training contract. This is undertaken on a part-time basis in the second and third year of your contract with us. Generally our graduates joining DA&A and ITRA specialise respectively in Data Analytics or IT.
We also hire graduates who have already completed a masters which is equivalent to those mentioned above. These graduates are not on a training contract and compensated appropriately.
