If you're working in a finance or business role and want to progress your career to the next level with a professional qualification, or you are in another industry and looking to pivot your career in a new direction, Chartered Accountancy offers you a flexible, future-proofed career with an internationally respected qualification. 

Our Flexible Route pathway involves the same education, exams and work experience requirements and ultimately ends with gaining the same ACA qualification. But with the Flexible Route, the education and experience elements do not have to run concurrently.

This pathway allows students to study on their own terms, students don't have to be working in a relevant role when they begin their studies, they can start their exams first and generate the relevant work experience further down the line.

Students have 8 years in which to gather the relevant work experience and complete their studies. Both elements don’t need to run concurrently and students can also break down the levels and do the course on a piecemeal basis over an extended timeframe. 

• Flexibility: Stay in your current role and record the relevant accountancy experience now or further down the line.
• Study on your own terms: You choose how many exams you take. Up to 8 years to qualify.
• Qualify faster: our exam success rate is higher than other accountancy bodies
• Fewer exams: when compared with other accountancy bodies
• The best potential for career progression in business
