Testimonials about Pathways to Membership programme
Christian Li
Group CEO, CKLB Fiduciary Group, Mauritius
"I found the Pathways route to membership examination of the ICAEW well structured and a fair way of examining someone who is already qualified as an accountant. For someone of my background and current position, the project / case study approach was very useful in putting in perspective what I achieved for my company in the last five years. This allowed me to re-assess plans and objectives with respect to the future of our Group. It has certainly been a useful exercise for me. I would also recommend the workshop, it is useful as it makes sure you remain relevant in your answers. Thank you."
Shaun Mary
Banham Graham Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors, UK
"As an FCCA, when I heard about the Pathways to Membership programme I jumped at the opportunity to preserve the use of 'chartered' in the firm’s name into the future. The level of support given for the programme was fantastic which is just as well as the submission is challenging and thought provoking, certainly not a walk in the park. I would recommend the course to anyone wanting to achieve ICAEW membership from another qualification route."

"I have no hesitation in recommending this path to anyone who, because of the same restrictions I had earlier in life, could not achieve their dream."
David Petrassi
Segrave and Partners, Essex, UK
"Although I have been an FCCA for some time, I have always aspired to be a chartered accountant which not only carries tremendous prestige but will also assist in my eventual advancement to partnership within my firm. Pathways has provided me with this facility. I found the Examination of Experience challenging and interesting and would like to express my eternal gratitude to the Pathways team for their assistance in my eventual success."
Mark Andrews
Broadhead Peel Rhodes, Leeds, UK
"I would recommend the Pathways programme because it enables those working within firms of chartered accountants to maintain the legacy and history of the firm."
Neil Mullen
Willis Scott Group, Newcastle, UK
"The Pathways programme allows you to produce answer scripts at your own pace, and as the questions require examples of actual work experience it does not involve revising from huge text books."
Wendy Patterson
WSM Partners LLP, London
"I would without hesitation recommend anyone who is interested in becoming a chartered accountant but has followed another qualification route to consider the Pathway to Membership. The Institute provide guidance and the team were extremely helpful and supportive and answered all my queries. Thank you to all at the ICAEW who assisted me in becoming a chartered accountant."
Colin Corrigan
Cooper Paul, Essex, UK
"The Pathways scheme is a tough, but fair, route to membership. The onus was on me to complete the challenge, although I was superbly supported by the Institute via a training seminar and the availability of direct further guidance if required. I would not hesitate to recommend the scheme to suitable candidates prepared to do the necessary work."
Peter Hill
Mark Holt & Co, Plymouth, UK
"As an FCCA partner in a chartered accountants practice, there was obvious benefit in the firm and all its partners being regulated by one Institute. The Pathways to Membership programme allowed me to quickly and easily demonstrate the standards and qualities of a chartered accountant, and the process from start to finish was well managed by the team at ICAEW. I would recommend the scheme to others if they also see additional value in the ICAEW status."
Russell Brown

"I decided to become ACA because I am managing partner of a CPA firm in China, and it complimented my qualifications for my position. As a professional firm we are keen to support the industry and its leading organisations."
Jonathan Walton
Hale Partnership Limited, High Wycombe, UK
"When I became aware of the ICAEW Pathways scheme, I was also delighted that I could attend a workshop and find out more about it. The workshop was held at the ICAEW in London and as you walk into the building and take in the history of the ICAEW, you know that you want to be a member of the largest professional accountancy body in Europe. The ICAEW also help you as much as they can to succeed."
M Thiruvasagam
Accountancy Group PLC, London, UK
"I became an ACA because it is a well recognised market leader in the field of accountancy in the UK and abroad. The ACA membership is a great support to me in many ways, but to name two key benefits that I use on a day to day basis are the use of the up-to-date library and the technical support. These are excellent services offered by the Institute. Membership of ICAEW also helps with recruiting and retaining quality staff and with gaining and retaining quality clients, because of the recognition of quality associated with the Institute."
Ian Hewitt
Vantis Group Plc, UK
"Pathways provided me with an opportunity to join the pre-eminent
professional accountancy body in the UK and to enjoy access to the benefits of
membership. I was provided with excellent support and advice by the ICAEW Pathways team in completing the Examination of Experience and found the process to be a useful opportunity to prepare case studies which I have been able to use since in my professional role."
