The Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business (CFAB) was launched by The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) in September 2008 in United Kingdom (UK) as a new stand-alone business qualification. It provides essential knowledge in the fundamentals of finance, accounting and business, and can be used as an entry route into the ICAEW programme.
Following the launch of the CFAB in the UK, Sunway TES CAE formulated an innovative pathway for school leavers. This specially designed pathway is a feeder into the ICAEW and provides school leavers with an accelerated route to the ICAEW ACA qualification.
Through this innovative pathway, students can progress to the ICAEW programme and obtain the prestigious ACA qualification right after high school. Its unique approach which allows both classroom studies and practical work experience offers a holistic learning experience and equips you with relevant skills to be an adept.
