ACCA Levels 2, 3 and 4 Certificates in Accounting (all nine CAT exams) will provide you with a solid foundation in finance and accounting. You will learn all the necessary technical skills and knowledge required to perform an accounting-support role. And if you complete ACCA Levels 2, 3 and 4 Certificates in Accounting (nine exams), you’ll be able to gain exemptions from the ACCA Qualification and be one step closer to professional status.

You can also achieve CAT status after completing all nine exams and one-year's practical experience in the workplace. The CAT qualification is flexible and allows you to take control of how and where you study. With a range of internationally relevant syllabus options and the choice of distance learning, face-to-face or self study, the qualification allows you to study at your own pace and achieve a work-life balance that suits you.
