Abstract

This study aims to evaluate and assess the status and effectiveness of the Class room Assessment Techniques (CATs) of Bahrain Training Institute (BTI) in the Kingdom of Bahrain based on four variable factors: (Trainees Capability, Class room context, Instructors competency and Award Body Requirements). Moreover, it identifies and tackles the major problems encountered on (CATs) of Bahrain Training Institute (BTI). The data were collected by using the questionnaire as primary data and the literature review as secondary data. In the paper a total enumeration was used with a sample size of 150 (accounting trainees and instructors). The main findings conclude that, the majority of respondents agree that the current status of (CATs) in (BTI) in term of the given factors is quite weak and must be given ample attention and full support. However, based on the findings, this paper contributes towards a better understanding of accounting education and acceptability of CATs.
