Military personnel now have the opportunity to enhance their skills and career prospects through a new partnership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS).
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has officially approved the ICAS Certificate in Accounting and Business (CAB) on its Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme – an initiative that promotes lifelong learning for Armed Forces members and veterans.
The CAB qualification has been designed to develop knowledge and practical experinece in key areas of accountancy, business and finance. It has been designed to upskill any individual or team, no matter what their current function or previous experience.
ICAS CEO, Bruce Cartwright (pictured), said: “It’s vital that military personnel have access to learning opportunities that empower and enable them to pursue new career paths.
“With no prior business or accountancy knowledge required, our CAB programme caters to all. It not only upskills individuals, but also boosts their confidence, helps them gain credibility in a variety of sectors, and enables them to stand out in a competitive job market.
“We are grateful to the MOD for recognising ICAS as an approved learning provider and look forward to supporting service men and women in their next chapters.”
