CA is a much more rigorous process than CGA or CMA.
You have to finish 17 courses before you can write the exam.
To write the exams, you have to be employed or at least has an offer from a designated CA firm.
Therefore, there are very few training courses available for CA.
It is true. To be a CA, you have no short cut.
- university degree
- 51 credit hours at university level with decent marks
- work in a designated CA firm - the most difficult part for someone who has no relevant work experience
