The awarding of exemptions isn't restricted to accredited degrees only - other programmes from recognised third level education providers can give students exemptions. Usually these programmes will give partial CAP 1 exemptions, but there are often exceptions.

If you have completed a non-accredited degree, the application process is the same as with accredited; we'll just need a little more information from you. As well as your transcripts of results for each year of study, you'll need to email your course module descriptors and sample exam papers to transcripts@charteredaccountants.ie. We accept applications from programmes overseas, and all documents sent to us must be translated into English by a certified service. Please note, applicants for our programme must reside on the island of Ireland.
