The question “Should I do an extra course with CA” is one of the most common doubts of almost all the students pursuing CA. You are surely going to find this question as one of the FAQs in any of the CA related forum or website you pick. But I have never got a clear and definite answer to this.

So today, let me simplify certain points and assure that after reading this blog, you can easily answer this question on your own without seeking further help and guidance.

First of all, ask yourself why do you need to do an extra course and what are the pros and cons of doing the same.

The answer to why do you need to do an extra course can be given in below three points:

• If you need a plan B in case plan A (CA course) doesn’t get cleared.
• Additional qualifications will add value to both your name and your profile.
• Multiple degrees in resume help you get that extra edge over your counterparts.

Now comes the pros and cons part, first let us discuss the pros.

Something is better than nothing. Hence, an extra course is any day more beneficial than no course at all. With extra course, you get to acquire more knowledge and with knowledge comes safety and security of your work life. Multiple degree adorns your resume and helps you get a better hike or promotion. Pursuing an extra course results in utilization of time (if any) in an effective way.

The cons include the registration cost, exam fees, coaching fees of the extra course. An extra course may hinder your preparation of main professional course (CA) at the wrong moment thus wasting your time. The extra course may not be worth doing in accordance to the salary benefits given as per the industry trends.
