Students are required to complete the staff training program within twelve months of the date of their registration with the Institute (as outlined in Regulation I 400 of the ICAO Member's handbook), or be exempted by virtue of having completed an Institute-approved in-firm/in-office equivalent. For students enrolled in a co-op program, the determination of the twelve-month period takes into account only the co-op work terms completed from the date of registration with the Institute.

The objective of this program is to familiarize students with the performance of audit and non-audit engagements, the operation of a public accounting office, and the rules and regulations which govern the practice of public accountancy in Ontario. Ideally this course should be taken after completing at least an introductory audit course and prior to writing the CKE.
