RGU Graduate Apprenticeship in BA (Hons) Accounting route

Our Graduate Apprenticeship is funded by the Scottish Government. 

This means your student’s university and ICAS course fees are covered, and you’ll only pay some of the fees* that you might expect when you train a CA on other routes.

*The training contract and assessment fees are fixed and are communicated up front.

Our Graduate Apprenticeship takes a work-based approach to learning, meaning your office is the primary place of learning.

And with a digital-first approach to learning at both ICAS and RGU, your students can fit their studies around their workload and clients.

They’ll be fully supported throughout, with quarterly in-person days on the RGU campus in Aberdeen or at CA House in Edinburgh.

We’ve partnered with the award-winning Robert Gordon University (RGU), which is ranked in the top 5% of global business schools.

A best of both worlds approach where students are fully supported by both RGU lecturers and ICAS tutors throughout their training and assessments.

Our syllabus is designed to keep pace with advances in technology, data and sustainability.

It also delivers the non-technical skills needed for the workplace of the future, including complex problem solving, professional scepticism, communication, and agile thinking.

Those who achieve it will be empowered to make an impact in any workplace and to help create the sustainable economies of tomorrow.

Academic study is combined with the required-minimum 450 days of practical experience. 

This approach allows students to put their knowledge into practice immediately, whilst being supported by their workplace mentor, RGU and ICAS.

How does it work?
