CA Essentials
Give yourself a head start on your CA Program journey and refresh your knowledge in key subject areas.
CA Essentials helps you revisit critical concepts, strengthen your foundational knowledge and feel more prepared before your CA Program subject begins.
Delivered as a one day weekend workshop immediately before your subject commences, CA Essentials gives you focused support at the right time in your study journey.
During the interactive workshop, you will work through mini scenarios, multiple choice questions and practical activities designed to refresh your understanding of key concepts.
CA Essentials is currently available to candidates enrolled in Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR) and Tax (TAX) across Australia and New Zealand.
