To ensure ICAEW Chartered Accountants are prepared for the future, we are updating the ACA qualification. When re-registering a student using the form above, you are asked to select which version of the ACA you would like the student to progress with:

1. Existing ACA prior to 30 June 2025 – this version of the ACA is made up the following elements:

• 52 professional development skills (where relevant)
• 450 days of practical work experience
• Ethics
• 15 exams

2. Next Generation ACA as of 1 July 2025 – this version of the ACA is made up of the following elements:

• 25 professional skills (where relevant)
• 30 units of Specialised Learning
• 450 days of professional work experience
• 14 exams

When selecting which version of ACA your students should continue with, consideration should be given to the elements of the ACA they have already completed. If a student is moved from existing ACA to the Next Generation ACA, they will be required to complete all elements of the updated qualification, including the updated professional skills and Specialised Learning requirements. Your dedicated business development manager can provide tailored guidance on the best option to select.
