IIA Diploma - accelerated route
Am I eligible for the IIA Diploma - accelerated route?
If you hold a relevant postgraduate qualification such as ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA or CIPFA, and you have been working in internal audit for the last three years, you may be eligible.
We also have a special route for ACCA members to become Chartered Internal Auditors.
How does the accelerated route work?
This route could allow you to achieve the Diploma in just 6 months. You will take just one exam, based on a case study. The exam will assess your knowledge of the full IIA Diploma syllabus. You will also submit Professional Experience Journal (PEJ). IIA Diploma accelerated route syllabus.
What support is available?
We offer special workshops to help you with the case study and professional experience journal.
Does the accelerated route lead to Chartered Internal Auditor?
When you successfully complete your exam and Professional Experience Journal, you will become a voting member of the Institute and you can use the designation PIIA.
If your aim is to become a Chartered Internal Auditor, after passing the case study exam you can move directly to study the IIA Advanced Diploma, without submitting a PEJ. You will not be eligible to use the PIIA designation, but you will be able to move on to the IIA Advanced Diploma more quickly.
How do I start?
Firstly you need to join the IIA as a student member and select a tuition programme. Check the timings for registration deadlines.
