Work experience of CA [#permalink] New post   04 Feb 2020, 00:13
Hi,

I wanted to know if the CA articleship experience of 3 years is counted as work experience by foreign universities, specially US and UK universities?

Since CA is a correspondence course and articleship experience is a full-time commitment, it makes a very strong case that such experience should be considered. Would love to hear from CA community having experience of applying to B-Schools outside and Experts who advise such candidates.

Please do not provide your general opinions here, only share factual experience.

sagoel1994, the answer varies from school to school.

We've written about it here.

In our experience, we've seen it not being considered more often than otherwise.

Unfortunately No, The articleship experience is not counted as work experience since it's a part of the course and not a full-time job(it comes under internship). Many of my CA friends have applied to universites in canada, US and UK, and in no case they'd considered articleship as work experience.

Hi

Would it make any difference that I have done my articleship from a Big 4 and almost 2.5 years of that work was done after my graduation?

And will it help if I can provide timesheets to prove that I have clocked in 40+ hrs every week and roles and responsibilities were similar to that of a recent graduate?

If articleship is taken into consideration I would become eligible for 2+ years of work ex. I have around 9 months of post CA work ex.

Graduation finished in May 2017.
Artcileship started in Sept 2016 and finished in Sept 2019. That would mean 28 months of articleship is post-graduation.

Would like to know your opinions on this.
Thanks

I am not sure about the US and UK colleges. INSEAD considers it as work experience, so do few of the mainland European courses.

Hi Shubham - I had attended one of INSEAD's information sessions in person where the admissions director confirmed this.
