What is a CA, and how long does it take

In South Africa, to become a chartered accountant (CA (SA), you must complete at least four years of studies, complete a three-year internship, and pass two board tests.

After finishing your CTA, you can take the Initial Test of Competence (ITC).

After completing 20 months of your training contract and a certified preparatory course, you can take the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) exam.
