planner,
I understand by [2] you mean if one is registered as an ICAP articled student (after having passed the ACCA exam). Based on my assumption of that, I think if you have started on your ACCA after your A levels (and are not pressed on time) you should pass the ACCA exam and then join for the three year training. If otherwise, start along won't make a difference to that extent ! Its always a good idea to have passed your Foundation/Certificate exam of ACCA before you join. That you'll be at par with your colleagues [Foundation exams (ICAP, ACCA)].
