FAQs

Which papers must candidates select and complete for the CTA qualification in May 2027?

Candidates must complete awareness papers (selecting 3 from 5 modules), one application paper, two advanced technical papers, and three computer-based exams (ethics, law, and accounting).

Who may be exempt from the Awareness paper and from which CBEs?

Students may be exempt from the awareness paper if they are ATT exam qualified or exam qualified with specified accountancy bodies and required passes. They may also be exempt from the accounting CBE if qualified with a main UK accountancy body, and from CBEs if sat as part of ATT studies (valid for 9 sittings).

How many sittings does each pathway require, and what guidance is given for the law CBE?

Pathways depend on whether a candidate is exempt from the awareness paper: exempt candidates typically follow a 3-sitting plan, while non-exempt candidates follow a 4-sitting plan. It recommends taking the law CBE before attempting advanced technical level, and states that CBEs must be passed before entering the final written paper.
