in practical, my friend doing ICWAI, for claiming examption in Computer training, he taken xerox copy of all his computer certificate ( none of the certificate mentioned the level), taken a DD for required amount and sent it to Kolkata office.

Now he got exemption for attending computer training.

So, simply says, if you are applied for exemption you can get, otherwise not.

Hi. I am from Chennai. I have completed Group II of CWA Inter. I am working with a MNC and was deputed for over a year to Hyderabad for working on a very critical project. Hence I could not find time to complete the Mandatory 100 hours Computer Training. When I enquired about it with the CWA SIRC in Chennai, they said that without completing the computer training I will not be allowed to take the Inter Group I exams. I want to complete CWA Inter by December 2010. I don't know what to do as the batches for computer training have already started and going to get over. Can I do the course in private computer institutes like NIIT, CSC and get certificate from them? Will the certificates so obtained be accepted by the CWA institute. Is there any other way by which I can claim Exemption? Is it possible to get exemption using my work experience as I use compluters extensively for my work and I am already well versed with the syllabus prescribed for the computer training? Please reply as soon as possible as there is very little time left for submission of examination forms for the Dec 2010 exam.
