Articleship query ca and cwa

Does doing an articleship training is also taken into account for the CWA training?

No, you will not get any credit of CA Articleship in CWA Articleship. Both has to be done separately.

Can CWA final student write the examination before going through training? i am asking this because i have seen people going to jobs and directly writing the final.

Presently the option is available to complete the practical training after completion of final exams but from Dec 2013 term of examination onwards, to become eligible for appearing in the Final Examination, scheme of completion of atleast 6 months of training, having registered for training of one year would come into force unless someone is eligible to claim exemption from practical training based on his work experience (CA articleship is not taken into account for work experience).

Thanks a lot.
