    I think it is after you have taken and passed one exam.

    As far as I am aware, you are a part qualified accountant when you have completed the intermediate level of CIMA, ACCA etc.

    It can be slightly open to intepretation, but that's certainly the most common assumption I have heard of it and every employer I have worked for has also used this assumption.

    If I were interviewing applicants who were 'part-qualified', I would assume they were at least two-thirds of their way through their course.

    That would indicate a commitment to their career, any less and they may not finish.
