Tipperary Training Certified Accountancy Pathway (Traineeship)

Course Aim

This Traineeship is 52 weeks in duration, beginning in an education and training environment, with work placement during the in-class learning. The traineeship includes a substantial period of time (generally 30% minimum) in the workplace, e.g., 3 days per week in work placement/2 days per week in class. Development of a traineeship programme is triggered by identification of a skills need within a particular industry. The work-based component is supported by an in-company mentor/supervisor who oversees completion of each trainee’s skills checklist on-the-job.
