lilianchilaka:
Hello, Please I would really love to get some advice from you guys.
I am a graduate of petroleum engineering and I have always had a passion for accounting but due to some family related issues, I had to go on ahead to study a course which was not accounting and by God’s grace I was able to graduate well.
But now I really want to diversify and I was torn between an MBA and ICAN and I finally made up my mind to go with ICAN.
I would really love to know how and what to do to go about it because I would say I do not know anything about it just that it’s an exam done to become a chartered accountant.
Please kindly put me through all the steps I would need to take from the scratch because I do not want to procrastinate this anymore, I would be really grateful for your response.
Thank you very much and God bless you!

Hi! Good decision you made. First, to be honest, this is the most difficult stage and that's because of your fear premised on your non-accounting background. Ironically, it is not unusual for Science and Engineering grads to ace ICAN probably because of their core mathematical background.

I suggest you take the next diet (May, 2018). I further suggest you visit a tutorial centre around you (there's a list of all certified tutorial centres in Nigeria on ICAN's website) for registration just to save you time and stress, that does not mean you can't do it all by yourself. You may also be granted exemption(s) in some courses, provided your degree is from an ICAN recognised institution (meanwhile, virtually all accredited Nigerian unis are).

Second, you have to discover yourself and what works for you. This may not be difficult for you since you have a "good" degree as you have claimed. So you know if personal reading or attending lectures is what really works for you. Personally, I will suggest you attend a good tutorial centre for lectures. ICAN goes beyond just passing for me. I love to understand the concepts very well and enjoy the class discussions. Makes my personal reading much easier too. However, we have heard several testimonies of non-accounting grads that wrote and passed all stages of ICAN without attending lectures and at one-sitting. It means it all depends on you and following a strategy that best works for you.

And to be honest, I think most of what people hear that scares them off ICAN are from those that haven't even written the exams before.

My brother/sister, ICAN, as the abbreviation suggests, is very much possible.

Hope I have been able to help. Subsequent questions are welcome too.

Would love to see your ACA testimony here in few years.

All the best!!!

How much do you think it will cost me in total. Considering That I did not study Accountancy in the university. Also is there any special discount for Corp members like the one that is offered by NIM

Is the 23k just for registration or does it cover the course materials and tutorials?

So how do I qualify for an Exemption?

Gmajor:

So how do I qualify for an Exemption?

The steps are there on ICAN site. After your registration you submit your relevant documents signed by an ICAN chartered who is up to date in paying his dues. Submit to ICAN office close to you. After about a month ICAN would send you a mail or text telling you the level where you would start from and the number of exemption(s). Then check it with the list above and pay before you write the exams.

Thanks.

Good afternoon sir. You don't need your discharge certfifcate to register for ICAN. As a matter of fact, I registered and wrote my first ICAN exams while awaiting NYSC mobilization.

So jump up, register and go slay ICAN.

All the best!

One more question, If someone is to write the foundation exam and pass, can it be included in the CV or must the person pass all the​ exams

Gmajor:

Well, it all depends on you and the extent of your confidence in defending whatever you state on your C.V.

You may state that you are a student member of the body on your C.V. If time and space permits, go further to list the courses taken and elaborate on those that relate to the role you're applying for.

This is just my opinion.
