Become an Approved Training Employer (ATE)

Approved Training Employers (ATEs) are organisations in which MICPA candidates can gain relevant practical experience – a prerequisite for membership admission. ATEs provide support to develop candidates undertaking the MICPA x CA ANZ Qualifying Programme primarily by assigning an experienced mentor to oversee the training and development needs of candidates.

MICPA ATEs are broadly categorised into Approved Accounting Firms (AAFs) and Approved Training Organisations (ATOs). AAFs are primarily accounting firms which offers audit/taxation services while ATOs organisations and/or companies operating in the commercial sector. Government agencies, GLCs, and education institutions can apply to become our ATEs. Organisations based outside of Malaysia may also apply to become ATEs.

Please contact the Institute’s Membership Services Department at membership@micpa.com.my to find out more about becoming an ATE.
