- An appropriate Bachelor of Commerce Degree, Advanced Diploma or equivalent qualification at NQF level 7
- Financial Accounting up to at least 2nd-year level (NQF level 6)
The full programme is approximately 2 years and is broken up in 3 phases. If you pass all three phases you’ll get entry into a 3-year Audit Trainee Programme:
- Pre-Bridging course (Approximately 3 months) : Get onboarded with the Nmbrs programme with RAiN and Milpark. This programme helps you prepare for study and work and will give you the skills to succeed.
- Bridging course: (Approximately 5 months) Study online and work part-time. Complete Milpark and CA Connect’s Online Bridging programme, completed part-time while you get paid experience with NMBRS. If you pass, you will start with PGDA.
- PGDA (Approximately 12 months): Study online full-time. You’ll complete the only SAICA accredited Online CTA (PGDA) programme with Milpark and CA Connect. You will still be paid a stipend during this period.
If you successfully complete each phase of the programme, you will receive a fully funded bursary sponsored by nmbrs for both the Online Bridging and the Online CTA (PGDA) programmes to the value of R95 000.
In addition, you will receive a monthly stipend of R5 000 – R10 000 per month. Should you require assistance to be relocated to one of our branches across the country, this will be considered on a case by case basis for exceptional circumstances.
