ALCA provides support to achieve the Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA) qualification

CiLCA is a Society of Local Council Clerks (SLCC) and Ascentis Exam Board product, but support for candidates is provided predominantly by the County Associations of Local Councils (CALCs).

To gain the CiLCA qualification candidates must present a portfolio of evidence of their competence in the role of the Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer. This must also demonstrate that they uphold the core values of those roles. It is not a training course and is not recommended for staff with insufficient experience, are new to the sector or have less than a year's experience in the role.

ALCA support for CiLCA Students

To support candidates to develop their portfolio of evidence ALCA offers a package of support - click on the link above to see the support we offer.

These ALCA support sessions are an additional cost to the fee paid to the SLCC, which is currently £410.

The ALCA support package costs £250 for councils with an income below £25,000 and £375 for all other member councils. Non-member councils can register without member benefits and discount for £475.  The programme comprises one initial face-to-face session and five further online sessions covering all five units of study in terms of content, as well as informal online networking sessions to monitor progress and provide motivation, both from the trainer and other students.
