ASC Course | PwC's Academy Middle East

Build the foundation for accounting and finance professionals with a globally recognised certification

For over a decade, we have been upskilling accounting professionals across the Middle East and helping shape the financial workforce of the region.

The ICAEW Accounting Skills Certificate (ASC) is a foundational certification in accounting and finance that enables the national workforce to progress their career to the next level. Leveraging on our vast experience of upskilling Nationals, we have designed the ICAEW ASC training programme specifically for the Middle East to suit the learning preferences and study methodologies, and to incorporate relevant regional examples.

We offer a complete learning solution for ASC. The programme blends interactive lectures, case studies, group exercises, practical examples and quizzes. Participants learn core accounting techniques and learn how to apply them with confidence. All the learning and exam preparation is completed in class and our training experts support participants at every stage to ensure we meet our joint final goal - to pass the exam and earn the accreditation.

Our programme is delivered in Arabic and English and is customized for our client’s specific in-house requirements.
