You need to talk to firms with whom you hope to train. Some only want to employ graduates, not necessarily with an accounting degree though. Send to the Institute of Chartered Accountants for details. Try www.icaew.co.uk
Answer 4 :
it's not necessary but it depends where you want to go in your career if you want to hit the heights yes go but if you want to be a normal accountant it's not necessary I knew an older man who went into industry as a manager on the basis of him being a fca[i think] and thirty years later he became an accountant again and he never went to university
Answer 5 :
Unless you have a degree in accounting/economics/finance etc you are going nowhere. In fact anybody who wants to make anything of themselves bar in a trade related industry is going nowhere without a degree as a minimum, preferably a post grad one as well.
