Any subjects at A-level or degree are acceptable, it is the grades that count! On average, organisations will be looking for around 220 UCAS Tariff points and a 2:1 or First degree. From A-level the length of the training contract is around four-five years, after degree it is three years, and after completing the AAT qualification it is possible to complete the ACA in only a further two years on the AAT- ACA Fast Track scheme (a great option if you want to start earning now and get ahead in your career!)
