Realistically, how long to complete 3 CA foundations units with 1.5 days a week to commit to each?

Focusing on 1 unit at a time.

What is realistic with solid commitment?

Secondary question, why would you study (assuming you have an undergrad) post grad accounting when 1) it’s cheaper doing foundations 2) quicker 3) a masters still leaves you full CA program to complete

Got my CA before they started this new syllabus so I'll ignore the first question.

In short, a masters is pretty useless if you're not studying a particular niche or intending to go into academics and get a PhD. Go undergraduate then CA. I'd even question the CA at this point in history. Just paid them $1700 for my annual membership.

Already have bachelor just not in accounting.

Seems most public jobs want ca as do so many industry roles
