How to access the CA Diary dashboard
To access the CA Diary dashboard, you need to be logged into the website.
Once you are logged in go to Current students > Student centre. Should you have any login difficulties, you can use the forgot user ID or password facility on the login page.
User ID
Students: your user name will be your allocated student number.
Mentors: If you are a newly assigned mentor or an existing mentor looking to refresh your knowledge please take a look at our dedicated Mentor – CA Diary page.
Mentors who are also training partners: if you are a training partner and a mentor, do not use your TP1 login to complete mentor activity, as you will not be able to view the Mentor CA Diary dashboard in Current Students. Instead, use your member ID (or your non-member ID if you were a mentor in the old CA Diary system).
