CPA Australia's Career Guidance System

Our Career Guidance System is an online self-assessment tool that allows professionals and employees to understand their current competencies, and identify areas for development.

It's as simple as:

1. define your goal - consider short and long-term career goals  
2. assess competencies - undertake the self-assessment
3. determine path - the knowledge guide suggests areas for development and relevant knowledge resources
4. acquire knowledge - work towards acquiring the knowledge and experience required

When you've completed your assessment a quick snapshot of current competencies is provided and the knowledge guide suggests relevant CPA Australia's knowledge resources to help you plan and work towards your desired career goals.

The Career Guidance System is designed to assist accounting professionals and employers worldwide to identify and acquire broad business-based competencies needed to succeed in today's business environment, based on a framework of four core knowledge areas - technical, business, leadership and personal effectiveness.

It can also help employers build relationships with their employees, and improve employee skill sets to contribute towards better business outcomes.
