If you are a qualified member of another professional accountancy body, you could be eligible to join Chartered Accountants Ireland. We have various routes to membership, including reciprocal agreements.

To study with Chartered Accountants Ireland, you must be a resident in Ireland to attend classes and gain the relevant work experience.

Our Flexible Route allows students to stay in their current job, study on their own terms and generate the relevant work experience now or further down the line. This route covers the same subjects, the same exams but critically, the education and experience elements do not have to run concurrently. Students don't have to be working in a relevant role when they begin their studies. This route is also a great stepping stone to help students find the career they've always wanted.

The Training Contract route is a structured programme that combines working and training. Traditionally employers will hire recent college or university graduates. The contract typically lasts 3.5 years. During the period of the contract the Chartered exams are taken and the relevant work experience is acquired in order to qualify.
