Chartered Accountant students must accumulate a minimum of 30 months work experience, six months of which must follow the completion of the Bachelor of Accounting degree. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Co-op Accounting students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees).
