Resubmissions

Who can resubmit?

You can resubmit if you have Examination of Experience attempts remaining and still meet the ICAEW Pathways eligibility criteria. A maximum of four attempts are allowed. You must also ensure your resubmission is supported by a sponsor who meets all the sponsor eligibility criteria.

When can I resubmit?

All Pathways resubmissions can be made during an open submission window. All future submission windows and result dates are available on our Dates and submission windows page.

What do I include?

Within your resubmission you must include:

• A new Examination of Experience form: which should only include answers to the questions you failed on previously.
• A signed copy of our Pathways sponsor form, issued and dated within the three months prior to the date of the relevant Pathways submission deadline
• Letters of Good Standing issued and dated within the three months prior to the date of the relevant Pathways submission deadline.
• £150 resubmission fee - payable at each additional attempt and non-refundable in all circumstances. This is a 50% reduction from the first submission.
• Please note: You will need to declare within your Pathways re-submission if you require an ICAEW Practising Certificate or the Audit Qualification (AQ) upon being successful. You will be prompted to confirm this within the pathways application process via the exams online portal when submitting your application.

How do I know which questions I need to resubmit?

Only questions you previously failed are required to be resubmitted.

You would have been sent an email confirming these results for your last submission. Please make sure you are checking your junk and spam folders for this. If you are unable to locate this information you can complete a contact form and include the following:

• Your name
• Your ICAEW record number
• The date of your last submission if known.

We can then email a copy of your previous Examination of Experience results and your examiner feedback letter.

How do I resubmit?

Using your existing ICAEW record number, you will need to submit your completed application through the online exam application system. All documents must be resubmitted at the same time.

What happens next?

Once the Pathways submission window has closed, your documents will be reviewed. If there are any queries you will be contacted via email, otherwise your results will be released on the Pathways results day for your session.

If you pass the Pathways Examination of Experience, you will be invited to join ICAEW membership. You will then need to pay the required ICAEW admission and membership fees before you can use the ACA designation or refer to yourself as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant.
