Where to study to become a member

If you're a student looking to become a Chartered Accountant (CA) or an Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) in New Zealand, you'll need to study at an Accredited Tertiary Institution (ATI).

ATIs are universities, institutes of technology or polytechnics we accredit to provide the academic requirements for membership. We regularly monitor ATIs to ensure they provide high quality training towards the CA and/or ACA academic requirements.
