For ICAA
You also need to be a 4 year graduate or equivalent (equivalent to Australian tertiary qualification) and this graduation too, should not have been taken by any exemptions, like the Oxford Brookes one. This rule is pretty unfair when you are a qualified member of a professional instutute. The same rule is also there in Canada but CICA(provincial bodies) waive this requirement in certain cases.
And by the way ICAA only has 4 papers and a case study -).
When globally you compare Chartered Accountancy qualifications of ICAEW, ICAA (Australia), CICA (Canada) , ICAS (scotland) and ICAI (Ireland) I find ICAA's structure of qualifaction the most easiest. Only 4 straight forward papers and exam fees are also not very high. One for Financial Accounting/Reporting one for management accounting one for Tax and the last one for Audit.
While worst feedback for CICA from my side, after visiting their website and spend hours reading YOU WILL Never be able to understand how to become a CA Canada. The most horrible and confused chartered accountancy body I have ever seen.
In Ireland they have 3 stages with 4 papers each in CA Proficiency 1 and CAP 2 and one exam in the Final admission exam FAE I think. School leavers there need to do a 5.5 years training while minimum training for graduates is 3.5 years.
ICAS also requires graduation as a minimum entry requirement. They also have 3 levels 5 papers each in Test of competence level and test of professional skills level and a case study in the final level.
In Canada CA Training is called CA Co-Op Program. In Australia its called CA Cadetship. In Ireland its called CA Practice Trainiship and In UK its called CA Training Contract
