Second year trainees titled ‘seniors’ take on more responsibility and are expected to contribute more to the team and later write the Qualifying Exam 2- Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). ‘Supervisors’, who are third and final year trainees, manage or run a client assignment, and supervise and coach junior trainees. Once third year trainees pass both exams and complete the training, they will register with SAICA as a CA(Nam)
