    I will be finishing my degree in June with full CAP 1 exemptions.

    If I want to become an ACCA Accountant do I have to do my CAP 2, FAE and then the ACCA exams or do I just do the ACCA exams?

    No you can go straight to the ACCA exams, depending on what degree you are doing you should get a number of exemptions.

    Your alternative is to go down the ACA route CAP1 etc and 3.5 year contract. Having done the ACCA route I can highly recommend it even though I am unemployed right now. :rolleyes:

    Hard to know what to do, I finished a trade 5 years ago never got steady work after the apprenticeship so I went back to college.

    Now the finance and accounting industry has disappeared.
    Haven’t seen one of the banks recruiting this year and the applications for traineeships in accounting are low paid with the very likely prospects of being let go once your qualified isn’t very appealing.

    I would have been better off failing my apprenticeship exams as most of them got kept on as general operatives and store workers and still have a job today.

    Better than doing nothing for the next 3 years suppose it can’t disappear like construction has in the last 5 years that’s for sure.
