Admission to membership fees are set by Council and backdated to the student’s eligibility date to apply for membership. For contract students the eligibility date is the later of the training contract expiry date/FAE pass date. For flexible route students it is the Diary completion date. Payment of back subscriptions, where relevant, does not backdate your membership.
Your invoiced admission fees will run you up until 31 December 2023. Going forward as a new member, you should expect to be invoiced every December in respect of annual subscriptions. The rate of subscription from year to year may vary and is set by Council at their final annual meeting each December for the following year.
For help & guidance on completing your CA Diary, please see CA Diary page. For all other CA Diary queries, please contact our training support unit (see Support & Services page).
No, the overseas rate is only available to members. If you take out membership this year, and are working/living abroad when you are invoiced for your annual subscription next year, the overseas rate will apply providing you have updated your overseas details on My Account by 30th April.
Under the time bar rule students have 12 months from the eligibility date to make the application. Please note however, your admission fees are back dated to your eligibility date so if you hold off on applying until next year you will be liable for back subscriptions.
