Training of Trainers for the Public Accountants Certification Program in Macedonia

In cooperation with Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) we recently successfully delivered training of trainers for the Public Accountants Certification Training (PACT) program in Macedonia.

In line with CIPFA standards, CEF headhunts to ensure the hiring of high-quality local tutors. Well educated local tutors are especially important, since the goal is sustainability and independent running of the program following the project’s completion. Up to three local trainers per module will be trained.

Training of trainers focused on methodologic approach such as learning methods, teaching skills, motivation and organization of in class training and powerful presentations.

Overall the PACT aims to train up to 40 students on certificate level in 2014-2015 and up to 40 students on diploma level provided that the project is extended to 2015-2016. Macedonian authorities will also be supplied with the training materials in local language. A task force for complete institutionalization and localization of the certification program will be established.

This professional certification program is made possible through joint funding from the World Bank SAFE Trust Fund and the Central European Initiative (CEI). Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Macedonia and the Center of Excellence in Finance (CEF) offer to the program in-kind support.

The program is implemented by the CEF. The Chartered Institute for Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) developed materials and it will award international certificates and diplomas to successful attendees.
