Depending on your method of study, and how much time you can spend on your studies, will determine how long it takes to gain these qualifications. Your only centre-based exams would be Manual Bookkeeping Levels II & III and these are held on the 2nd Wednesday of Feb, June & October. The remainder are home based exams can be sat at any time of the year.
I work for Ideal Schools and on avarage I would envisage our own students to complete these course options in around 18 months, based on a 5-6 hour per week study schedule.
I did my full "Career Path" qualifications, which basically covers all the main ICB exams, with Ideal Schools and it took me 18 months but there some on here who have done it quicker in 12 months
ICB are also moving towards an "on demand" online exam based at an exam centre, which may speed things up too.
