    €11k is an absolute disgrace to offer anyone even these days. That is simply a scrooge employer taking advantage. I started with no experience in very small firm in October 2007 on €24K. But then again, I guess it's how you sell yourself!!:D

    I think its around €50k once you have passed all exams and finished your training contract

    I wish that was the case. I have been quailified 2 years and have never got close to that.

    11K a year is not very good at all. I started on 14k in 2005 in a small practice in Galway. Where I am working now we are paying a trainee around 18k a year including two exams paid for with paid study leave.

    hi all, can anyone tell me why firms paying for exams taken and study etc comes to €5k? Do they tend to pay for taking the courses, what about if you are doing the study yourself? Anyone have any feedback on ROCG ireland as a company to work for? Thanks.

    I do ACA, dont know about other fees, CAP 2 exams about 3k, and FAE around 4, that covers your lectures, books, exam fees. Study leave...well cap 2 min 7 weeks off (6 study plus exams), thats gonna come to more than 2k in wages for most....So for ACA anyway Id say 5k is a moderate enough estimate, it could come to more.

    well im doing CAP 2 but doing it through the 'school leaver route', am on 30k, but thats quite high for a trainee. I started on 20 nearly 3 years ago.

    I think starting cap 1 on about 21-23, with exams etc paid and study leave would be fine, but im sure others will tell you more, I know some people started on a lot less, 16-17k.
