Professional Development Unit
CPA & ICAA - Professional Attainment Program
The professional Attainment Program is designed for those individuals who want to study a limited number of University subjects in order to satisfy the academic requirements of a professional organisation. Prospective students require a letter from their professional organisation outlining their specific requirements in order to enrol in the program.
Subjects available in the Professional Attainment Program are all offered by distance education, allowing students to meet both work and study commitments.
On successful completion of an agreed program of study students will receive a copy of their academic transcript. Subjects successfully completed may be used as credit toward further study at Charles Sturt University.
