For CA students undergoing industrial training, managing the requirements for GMCS 2 and Advanced ITT can be challenging. Here's how you can address these concerns:
### **1. **GMCS 2 During Industrial Training
**GMCS 2 (General Management and Communication Skills) is mandatory during the last year of articleship. Since industrial training involves rigorous schedules and typically doesn’t allow extended leave, here are some solutions:**
- **Check with Your Industrial Training Provider:** - Discuss the GMCS 2 requirement with your industrial training employer. Some organizations may offer flexibility or special arrangements for employees pursuing professional courses.
- **Flexible Scheduling:** - ICAI sometimes provides options for evening or weekend GMCS 2 classes. Check if such options are available in your region.
- **Online or Distance Learning:** - See if there are online or distance learning options for GMCS 2 that can fit around your industrial training schedule.
- **Leave Planning:** - Plan your GMCS 2 classes in advance and discuss with your current or future industrial training employer to ensure you can accommodate the classes within your training period.
### **2. **Advanced ITT (Information Technology Training) During Industrial Training
**Advanced ITT is a requirement that also needs to be completed before you can appear for the CA Final exams. Here’s how you can manage this:**
- **Pre-Schedule Your Training:** - Schedule your Advanced ITT well in advance. If possible, complete it before starting your industrial training or during a period when your training schedule allows for leave.
- **Talk to Your Employer:** - Inform your industrial training employer about the requirement for Advanced ITT. Some companies may allow short leaves for professional development or training.
- **ICAI Flexibility:** - ICAI may offer options for completing Advanced ITT in a manner that aligns with industrial training schedules. Check with ICAI for any such provisions.
### **General Tips**
- **Plan Ahead:** - Start planning for GMCS 2 and Advanced ITT as soon as you know you want to undergo industrial training. This will help you manage both your training and course requirements effectively.
- **Communication:** - Maintain clear communication with both your articleship employer and the company where you will be doing industrial training. Discuss your requirements and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution.
- **ICAI Resources:** - Refer to ICAI's official guidelines and speak to the ICAI regional offices or your local chapter for any specific advice or updates related to these requirements.
Balancing industrial training with GMCS 2 and Advanced ITT requires careful planning and communication. Ensure you address these concerns early to avoid any last-minute challenges.
