    I graduated from ATI last year so now I want to continue my study. It wont be until 2019 for personal reasons but I want to get as much information on my options as possible.

    There are so many options to choose from but I’m so confused as there is so much information.

    I’ve narrowed it down to either CPA or ACA

    Can anyone give me further info on these, pro cons, exemptions, cost etc?

    When in 2019 you would like to join?
    If ACA you will have to wait till October next year!(Thats the information I have, please correct me if I am wrong)
    CPA you can join in before that and take exams in April or in August.
    May be you should get the exemptions checked with both the ACA and CPA.

    Only Pros with both the qualification.

    Fee structure is in the website, it depends on what exemptions you have and at what stage you will start.

    It might be worth looking a the ecollege.ie website as they used to offer CPA and ACCA courses online which would allow you the flexibility to start whenever suits. If you are currently a jobseeker they are also free.
