Accenture ASE process – chose “No Prior Knowledge” in prior knowledge email, then got CH-AT17 Custom Software Engineer Workday mail. Is this normal?

Hi everyone,

I recently got selected in the Accenture hiring process for the ASE (Associate Software Engineer) role and I’m currently working on the Primer / Udacity learning modules.

Yesterday I received a mail asking about prior knowledge, where we had to choose one option: • Java • Data Visualization with Power BI • No prior knowledge

Since I don’t have prior experience in those areas, I selected “No prior knowledge.”

Today I received another email saying:

“Thanks for applying for the role of CH-AT17 – Custom Software Engineer. Please create your Workday Home account to track your application.”

This confused me a bit because I was selected for ASE, but the email mentions Custom Software Engineer (CH-AT17). I’m also already continuing with the Primer modules.

I wanted to ask people who are going through or have gone through the recent Accenture process:

1. Is CH-AT17 Custom Software Engineer the same as the ASE role internally?
2. Is this Workday email just for creating the account to track application status?
3. Does choosing “No prior knowledge” affect anything in the training or assessment?
4. What option did others choose in the prior knowledge email (Java / Power BI / No prior knowledge), and what email or training path did you receive after that?

Just trying to understand if everything is normal in the process.

Thanks!
