    i know it depends on things like number of exemptions+how many subjects taken at once,but how long do people reckon it takes usually?

    i ask because i only get either3/4/5 max exemptions and am worried i wont be qualified for an awful long time!

    how long has it taken people with this number of exemptions?

    thanks in advance for any help

    The length of time it takes to qualify as an ACCA member depends on you.

    The ACCA Qualification is designed to be flexible. Although we would always recommend you to complete the practical experience along with passing the exams, it’s up to you to decide how you study, how often you sit exams and where and how you gain your relevant practical experience.

    You can take a maximum of four exams every six months and combining this with working full-time would also mean you are simultaneously gaining the practical experience requirement also necessary for membership. On average, an individual registering with the minimum entry requirements, working full-time and studying on a part-time basis would take approximately three to four years to gain their ACCA Qualification. However, depending on your previous qualifications and relevant practical experience, you can complete the qualification much more quickly. A graduate with a relevant degree and a couple of years relevant experience could complete the qualification in as little as one or two years.

    So 14 total exams - say 4 exemptions = 10 exams to sit.
    As far as i'm aware people don't normally take more than 2 in a sitting (unless basic exams etc.... then maybe 3/4).

    Looking at that it would take you 3 or 3 1/2 years, same as chartered.
