Importance of Articleship Training in CA, Articleship! Yes, going to office at such an early age, working there instead of going to some college or bunking, working all day through & even late nights during high time like March or September, Articleship is not like a big blessing to us – CA Aspirants!

But, earning something (agreed, it’s not much!), getting to learn new things, dealing with clients, going to industries, seeing huge machines running in front of you, learning how to adjust yourself in the corporate world, working with experienced professionals, going for audits, verifying data of clients, isn’t that of a punishment either! Let us have a look on the benefits of articleship & then you can decide, it is the best thing for us or not?

Importance of Articleship Training in CA

Practical Exposure:

The best thing about the CA course is that it is very different from all other courses! Not just theoretical knowledge, we also get real-life experience of subjects like Accounts, Taxation, Audit & to a good extent, Law. Even when we are writing our exams, you might observe that in most of the papers our basic knowledge of the subject is tested & this knowledge will best come through practical practice.

Professional Behaviour:

Be it how you behave, or be it timely presence for a meeting, or be it submitting a report at the proper time, we learn professional behavior while working with the best professionals of the world. We learn how to manage deadlines, how to do multiple tasks together & also how to keep patience in such hectic situations.

Not that boring!:

I agree, we don’t get to go to college like other people, but we have our colleagues with us in our office! No denying the fact that we get great opportunities to bunk too! And that enjoyment we do, while working extra time during late nights or when the boss is not in the office, AWESOME! This is the best part of articleship.
