The primary accounting professional qualification is the basic professional qualification of China's accounting industry, and those who have obtained the primary accounting professional qualification certificate can engage in basic accounting work. In order to continuously improve the professional level and professional quality of junior accountants, China has implemented the continuing education system for accounting majors, aiming at providing junior accountants with opportunities for continuous learning and training, so as to continuously improve their comprehensive quality and professional skills.

The starting time of continuing education for accounting majors is not clearly defined, which can generally be considered in the following aspects:

After entering the accounting profession

A junior accountant can formally enter the accounting profession only after obtaining the professional qualification certificate of the junior accountant. In the process of working, junior accountants need to constantly learn and master new accounting laws and regulations, accounting standards, tax policies and other related knowledge to adapt to the development of the industry and the changes in professional needs. Therefore, junior accountants can participate in the continuing education of accounting specialty at any time during their work, and constantly improve their professional quality and skill level.

Annual continuing education plan

In order to ensure the continuous improvement of the professional level and professional quality of junior accountants, China will formulate a continuing education plan for accounting majors every year. Junior accountants can choose their own training courses and learning methods according to the planned time and place of continuing education.

Personal study plan

In addition to participating in the official continuing education plan, junior accountants can also choose their own learning methods and training institutions according to their professional needs and study plans. You can constantly learn and improve your professional quality and skill level through online learning, self-study and attending training courses.

Generally speaking, the starting time of continuing education for primary accounting majors is not clearly defined, and primary accounting personnel can choose appropriate learning methods and time independently according to their professional needs and study plans. However, in order to ensure the effect and benefit of continuous learning, junior accountants should pay close attention to the changes of industry development and the update of policies and regulations, participate in relevant training and learning in time, and constantly improve their professional level and professionalism.
