Answer 1 :
There are several ways to become an accountant. I became one when I was 30. If you are having good marks and good with your Maths and English , The easy way is open to you. You can do your A/L and enter a good university. If your parents are rich options are unlimited. If not you have to apply through UCAS and If you have good marks you will get a place and a student loan. Once you complete your 1st degree or while you are halfway, you can register with professional institues which gives you qualification and license to practice. But you can become an accountant with out a degree too. There are institutes which govern accountants. Those are ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA. See these links: http://www.careers.icaew.com/ http://www2.accaglobal.com/uk/students/welcome http://www.cimaglobal.com/Study-with-us/CIMA-at-a-glance/ http://www.cipfa.org.uk/students/prospective/ If you have not got money to do a degree or if you are not having very good marks, even then you can become an accountant. But it is hardway. You have to register with AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) https://www.aat.org.uk/services/studentregistration/ Wish you all the best in your selected career..
