I would Iike to know the difference between IPCC and PCC . Which will be better to opt for. What are those pros and cons for opting IPCC.
As for me, I am currently doing my articled training and almost completed 10 months and my first attempt for PCC falls on November 2009. Is it possilble to switch over to IPCC by November,2009 if I cannot pass any group of PCC Exam.

29 December 2008 You have no choice to join IPCC. You have to write your PCC till Nov 2012 and then you can shift over to IPCC.

29 December 2008 In case you can complete your first group in IPCC, then it is a good option and there will not be much difference between PCC and IPCC.

29 December 2008 But in PCC, irrespective of you clearing PCC, your course duration remanins the same as the final attempt is after 3.5 years.
