Practical experience
In addition to completing the exams, you will also
need to gain at least one year's relevant,
supervised work experience in order to qualify and
use the "CAT" letters after your name. Practical
training can be completed in any size or type of
business, and in any combination of sectors,
before, during or after completing the exams.
The onus is on you to find relevant training, but
there are lots of resources available to assist
you in your search for employment.
Previous qualifications may also entitle you to
claim exemption from the practical experience
requirement, for example, completion of an NVQ
Accounting at Level 4.
