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

Hello thank you for your question

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

Okay, thank you. Please how different is the application process for the graduate programs?

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

Unfortunately I'm unable to advise on the Experienced Hire route

Okay, thank you. Is there anyone here today that can help with that?

Unfortunately there isnt anyone on the chat from experienced hire

Oh okay. Thank you then
