Answer 3

If you are interested in training to become a chartered accountant then I would suggest that the best course of action to take is to get yourself a job as a trainee accountant as soon as you have finished your A-levels.

The reason for this is that you will be gaining important work experience while studying for your exams and you will, of course, also be earning money. If you go to university then you will incur heavy debts and it will take you much longer to qualify.

I went to Kent University and studied Accountancy and Finance and even though I left with a 2.1 degree and obtained some exemptions from my ACCA exams it still took me 3 years to finish all 14 of the professional exams you need to pass in order to gain membership.

However, if you start work as a trainee accountant at the age of 18 you should be in a position to qualify as a chartered accountant after 4 years of study and therefore be fully ACCA qualified at the age of 22.

You can also gain a degree. This is because the ACCA has a partnership agreement with Oxford Brookes University which allows ACCA students to submit a 5,000 word essay to the university after they have completed the first two levels of their exams. If this essay is accepted as being up to standard by Oxford Brookes University then you will be awarded a BSc degree in Applied Accountancy by the university with your degree class being based on the results you have gained in your ACCA exams.

Given that your employer will probably be paying for your ACCA study and exams the cost of obtaining this degree to you will be the cost of submitting the essay to Oxford Brookes University. This will be less than £100 which is obviously much cheaper than it would cost you to study for a degree full time.
