Answer 1 :
You need to pass the exams with the ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales). To sit these you must be working for an approved firm of accountants (often the bigger ones) throughout your studies. These firms will usually require you to either have a degree in accounting first or some other qualification in accounting such as the AAT. So, you're looking at three years (degree or AAT) then a further three years to achieve ACA whilst working full time. This only applies to the term Chartered Accountant - there are other kinds of accountants that take other routes but they cannot call themselves chartered.
