  • After completing the CS course and training: Company Secretary in employment or in practice

Where you can work

  • Companies and LLPs (secretarial, compliance and governance functions)
  • Practising Company Secretary firms

What it leads to: Register for the CS Executive Programme within one year of passing, then clear the CS Professional Programme and the required training to apply for Associate membership of ICSI.
