Professional qualifications for graduates
- The IIA Certificate is designed for people who have been seconded to the internal audit function, or who may only stay in internal audit for a few years.
- The IIA Diploma in Internal Audit Practice is the most appropriate qualification for a newly qualified graduate and is an excellent business qualification that will ensure internal auditors develop a wide range of skills and knowledge. Employers regard the IIA Diploma as the hallmark of a competent internal auditor.
-
Once successfully qualified, IIA Diploma holders can progress to the IIA Advanced Diploma in Internal Auditing and Management, which is designed for more senior and experienced internal auditors. The IIA Advanced Diploma enables internal auditors to engage with management and the board at a strategic level.

Helen Elliott - Auditor, Gentoo Group Ltd"Internal audit is definitely a satisfying career. I wanted a career where I could further my knowledge and qualifications, and with the IIA I can do both. Sounds cheesy, but I do learn something new everyday and the Diploma and Advanced Diploma enable me to gain additional qualifications and insight."
