Still takes a 3 year contract. You need to show proven work experience in a specific ACA approved employer (which you record on a tracker from when you start your ACA contract-not previous experience)
Plus not all employers accept exemptions and will make you re-take the exams
And you have to do 3 ethics reviews with ACA approved trainers. 1 per year at least ideally, (my employer does them every 6 months)
