Accounting Technician Course- ATC: This is innovative introduction in the scheme of CA training. A candidate, who does not want to purse the programme to the very end, by completing the final exam and other auxiliary courses and becoming an Associate, has an option to divert from the mainstream and get himself qualified as an accounting technician. The candidate may appear only in group 1 of IPCC, which is equivalent to the Accounting Technician Examination. The condition of nine months of study course, orientation programme and 100 hours of IT training have to be fulfilled by the ATC candidates as well. After passing the group 1 examination, the candidate can complete 12 months of work experience as per the norm of the council and secure the Accounting Technician Certificate. At the same time the candidate has the option to continue his studies and complete the full CA programme, if he desires to do so
This is a blessing for candidates who had earlier left the CA training programme midstream for some reason for another, without securing any qualification whatsoever. There are favorable rules for transition from the old pattern of intermediate or PE II to the new IPCC format, thereby enabling them to acquire the AT Certificate.
