how many years do you think it gona take to become a CA (from studying papers)? does it require mentorship?
for what I've known, CPA only takes three years if you sucessfully pass 6 courses (averagelly 2 courses per year) and at the same time working under a CPA mentor...
It takes at least 7 years, and note it depends on the resources which are available at the ATO, sometimes it might take more than 7 years to become fully qualified CA. (incl uni study)
