Hi, I'm a post grad student and I've almost completed my ACCA exam. Do you think it is smart to apply for a grad program

I have one paper left to complete the ACCA program. So I just wanted to know if it was smart to still apply for a grad program. If yes what grad programs will you advice?

    For a graduate programme, you would have to have completed very few exams, as a grad programme would take your through the entire 3 year qualification

    As you have done all but 1 paper, you would not be able to come down the grad path, and going via the Experienced Hire route would be best

    My fear is that I do not have so much experience as I have just one year experience as an audit intern in one of the big fours. Will this not affect my career progression.

    Also when I am applying for the experienced hire, what roles should I be looking out for? I mean in terms of analyst or associate or senior

    I believe the level you would need to come in at may be associate level, however the roles on the website will state how my experience you would need

    For the graduate application process, it will be a series of assessments which include a numerical test, a video response and scenario's. should you be successful on the online stages, you will then be shortlisted to attend an assessment event knows as an EYX day. following this, there will be a final interview for successful candidates
