Certainly getting ICAEW contract is and will be much tougher than to get ICAP's training contract. I believe Usman's view is very focussed and clear on this issue.
However, I also expect that more firms will be getting training authorization from ICAEW in coming days and resultantly more firms will be intaking the students. Yet, it is more than obvious that it will always remain a hard target comparatively.
In contrast, passing ICAEW will perhaps easier for ACCA students since it has lesser papers to qualify.
So there is a trade off.
