Thank you Ntwanie for this information, I am starting with my articles in Feb 2020. I had always wondered what is the actual expectation from from the 1st year on-wards and this information will help me to better prepare myself. Thank you once again.
Can you do one on CIMA if you have information ....this is conversation quite insightful and learning many need to hear this as not a lot of people are willing to share
Hi, Thank you so much for this video. As a current university student you have answered a lot of questions that I had, especially with regards to the salary. Really looking forward to similar videos like this were you share your experiences with us. All the best for APC, and thank you once again
A massive congratualtions to making it this far, and God give you all you need to make it through. I hope to be where you are soon to, doing my CTA this year, super anxious about it all, just because there is so much unknown, they say the transition is very difficult. What are the working hours like in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of training? And what do you study when preparing for your APC? And do they give you breaks to study towards your APC? ALl the best!
Thank you so much for this I'm really learning a lot very informative. Can I ask is it possible to ask for salary increase say maybe in your 2nd year when you feel like you deserve more for the work you put in? 😅😅
In my opinion it is not equal to CA(SA), as much as it's a international board. I had taken the ACCA route but changed to SAICA because I realised how most companies don't recognize it. But that was a few years back.
Hey I know this is completely off topic but I wanted to know if you had some insight on this. I completed my BCOM Accounting Degree at UJ and I immediately began working but in the field of education. That was in 2019. Im still working now but I want to go back to studying towards a CA qualification but Im unsure of the route to take do you have any suggestions or insight? Would really appreciate it.
After getting a Bcom Accounting Degree. At UJ we would then have to do a BCTA (Bridging Certificate in Theory of Accounting) first and then do the CTA stream after. But if for example I do it via Unisa would it be CTA stream immediately or do I need to do PGDA in Accounting sciences first and then CTA(PGDA in Applied Accounting Sciences)
@@mtikasoga3474 I think at Unisa you'd have to do CTA1 and then CTA 2, I'm not familiar with the UJ naming of the courses but if your degree doesn't allow you to go straight to CTA, you'll have to do a bridging course either at uj or unisa.
@Mtika I did my undergrad with UJ and my postgrad with UNISA. Based on my experience its better to do it via UNISA , if your degree is not SAICA accredited you will do level1 then level2.
Hi Ntwanie, thank you so much for the informative videos and your insight . It's highly appreciated. 😊 I wanted to find out 2 things from you: 1. The comparison of salary you mentioned in your video, is this for a specific company or geographical location, or if it's the holistic market average? 2. Can first years negotiate salaries, and how do you know which offer to accept on the table? Again, thank you so much for your time and effort, it is highly appreciated. 😊
So the salary is market related in JHB. At audit firms normally no, but if you're training out of public practice I think you can. You'll just need very strong reasons to base your negotiations seeing that you wouldn't have any experience
Hey, I really love your content,very informative. In terms of industries (Financial services, Consumer Industries Market, etc), does the salary differ depending on the industry you audit? If so, what industry pays the most?
ITC is an Initial Test of Competence, the first qualifying exam after CTA, then APC is Assessment of Professional Competence, the second qualifying exam.
Love your video ! Got pre-accepted to Tuks to study accounting then do my honours, currently in matric☺️ very excited
Awesome ! I hope FRK100 is not too bad!
I like that you weren't secretive about the salary.
You are very informative and transparent. Thank you for this video 👍🏾.
Come hell or high waters, I will emerge a CASA🙏🏽
That's the spirit!! 💃💃
All the best, you can do it.
I really enjoyed this one , I am a first year ,This was so informative and helpful.

Loved the video. I’m in my first year - as you said we enter audit in the busy season so it’s been really interesting because of this lockdown.

Insightful thank you
Thank you😍
Am I crazy for wanting a starting salary of R30k per month 👀🤣😭
I have a strange feeling you might be with PwC😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Enjoyed the Video, l heard that law firms pay alot better that Audit firms is that true?

Thank you so much for this I'm really learning a lot very informative. Can I ask is it possible to ask for salary increase say maybe in your 2nd year when you feel like you deserve more for the work you put in? 😅😅
What are the questions asked in the interview for a trainee?
Thank you for this video
Thanks babe
Yhooo so little! 1st year my notch was 445k and that was 2017
We are in the pits sis😭
can you do a video on the ACCA in South Africa? do you think the ACCA is equal to CA(SA)? Many thanks.
I'm not very familiar with it.. I'll do a bit of research and let you know
In my opinion it is not equal to CA(SA), as much as it's a international board. I had taken the ACCA route but changed to SAICA because I realised how most companies don't recognize it. But that was a few years back.
R200 000 would not be enough honestly. I guess its because I have been working for years and I will be doing my articles next year.
Was thinking same thing
Hi, which firm did you sign with ?
How's everything going at this point?
Does this also goes da same for management accountant
Hey I know this is completely off topic but I wanted to know if you had some insight on this.

Im still working now but I want to go back to studying towards a CA qualification but Im unsure of the route to take do you have any suggestions or insight? Would really appreciate it.
What do you mean route? From my understanding you already have a degree, all you need to enroll for is CTA
After getting a Bcom Accounting Degree. At UJ we would then have to do a BCTA (Bridging Certificate in Theory of Accounting) first and then do the CTA stream after. But if for example I do it via Unisa would it be CTA stream immediately or do I need to do PGDA in Accounting sciences first and then CTA(PGDA in Applied Accounting Sciences)
@@mtikasoga3474 I think at Unisa you'd have to do CTA1 and then CTA 2, I'm not familiar with the UJ naming of the courses but if your degree doesn't allow you to go straight to CTA, you'll have to do a bridging course either at uj or unisa.
@@mtikasoga3474 your UJ degree is not SAICA accredited, you will need to do advance diploma then CTA2
@Mtika I did my undergrad with UJ and my postgrad with UNISA. Based on my experience its better to do it via UNISA , if your degree is not SAICA accredited you will do level1 then level2.

Hey, no salary is the same across if you're at an audit firm
What are the interview questions like?
How do you get this trainee job?
What is ITC? Is that another word for articles? And what is APC?. Please explain everything after CTA
ITC is an Initial Test of Competence, the first qualifying exam after CTA, then APC is Assessment of Professional Competence, the second qualifying exam.
Hi I'm from Swaziland, currently doing my degree, is it possible to do the rest in SA.
Yes, it is.. I'm not exactly sure of the process, but if your degree is accredited for the CA stream you can.
@@NtwanieNgomane thank you so much
Did they also change the dates for ITC???
They did
