FAE, repeats and contract times

FAEQ

Hey guys,

Say for instance I was to fail my FAE repeats and get fired, I'd have got 3.25 years exp under my belt.

Can the remaining .25 be made up anywhere? Like in an audit firm OR office environment?!

Can I sit the FAEs in 2012 if necessary without having to be employed in accounting at the time, assuming I've amassed enough relevant experience?

Thanks.

Less of your negativity!! I'd imagine they could extend your contract though unless they wanted rid of you. Know lots of people who failed last year that were coming to the end of contracts and they were kept on.

Big 4. Smaller firms may be different though I imagine they'd be keen to keep you on at a trainee rate for a year longer none the less!

pepp

you can a friend of mine failed twice and was let go he already had all his experiance signed off though (was under the old rules not the CA diary) and sat the exams again and passed before he got a new job

I am repeating and if I fail again this time theres no way I'm staying on on crap wages to waste another summer and possibly fail again. I just want to be finished at this stage.. FAEs were supposed to be the easier ones!
