During an open submission window, you will be able to visit the exams online portal to submit your pathways application.

Please note that the online exam system requires you to submit your Examination of Experience and your signed Sponsor form at the same time.

Your home body and your sponsor's home body will need to complete a Letter of Good Standing using the correct template. This will need to be signed by you for consent and then sent to us directly by your home bodies.

For a reminder on all documents you will need to submit, please visit our Requirements of Pathways page.

Once the Pathways submission window has closed, your documents will be reviewed. ICAEW retains the right to carry out additional checks on your Pathways application. This may include a discussion with an ICAEW representative regarding any aspect of your submission, including the Examination of Experience. 

We also reserve the right, where appropriate, to refer suspected fraudulent activity to relevant law enforcement, regulatory, or other competent authorities in the jurisdiction concerned. Any attempt to provide false, misleading, or fraudulent information in connection with an application will result in the rejection of an application.
