Training Office Support
SAICA training office support is built for offices that want to meet their obligations confidently, with assessments, accreditation support and training delivered by a registered SAICA assessor who understands what the framework demands.
Summative assessments of CA trainees throughout their articles – giving training offices clear insight into each trainee’s progression with PVAAs, development priorities, and adequacy of technical exposure. Delivered by a registered SAICA assessor.
For first-time accreditation or re-accreditation, we guide you through the full process: evaluating your environment, planning rotations, compiling your training plan, and ensuring you meet SAICA’s accreditation criteria before submission.
Equips reviewers with a working understanding of the CA of the Future competency framework and how to apply it consistently contributing to a credible and robust assessment process. The emphasis throughout is on formative assessments that support real trainee development.
Orients new trainees to the CA of the Future framework from day one – building their understanding of competency requirements, their responsibilities as trainees, and what timely progression and discharge require. Sets the foundation for a smoother articles experience.
A practical ethics programme grounded in real business scenarios – exploring the foundations of professional ethics and how to apply them at a personal, business, and professional level. Designed to meet SAICA’s ethics requirements while changing how trainees think about ethical decision-making.
Ongoing ethics dialogue for professionals – exploring themes from the Ethics Essentials programme in greater depth, using current affairs and real business developments as the starting point. Helps build a values framework that holds up in practice, not just in discussion.
Professional Development - SAICA aligned
SAICA’s CA of the Future framework recognises that tomorrow’s CA needs far more than technical expertise. Our modules map directly to the professional values and enabling acumen competencies the framework identifies – giving training offices a credible, structured way to develop well-rounded professionals who are ready for the demands of the profession.
Modules are selected and sequenced to match your training office’s SAICA competency priorities and delivery preferences.

Coaching for aspiring CAs
Most APC candidates are technically well prepared. What often determines the outcome is how they think under pressure, manage uncertainty, and translate that preparation into performance on the day. Coaching for both first-time candidates and repeaters is built around exactly this.
For those earlier in the journey, coaching is also available across the full training contract – structured support from the start of articles through to qualification.
