ICAEW Essentials

Who does this apply to?

If you previously carried out an industrial placement or scholarship at a UK Deloitte office

What do you mean by returning scholar or placement student?

It is practical work experience of a financial, business or commercial nature carried out during previous employment, a scholar or industrial placement with an ICAEW accredited firm. The ICAEW allows students to apply for prior work experience, which, if granted, reduces the length of your (48 month) training contract.

What is credit for prior work experience?

How do I know if I have prior work experience?

If you were on a placement you should have recorded your placement time on an Evidence of Practical Work Experience form and had the form signed off at the end of your placement. This form must be signed by the QPRT/PRT (Qualified/Person responsible for Training) from the office you gained the work experience
