Please do more videos about the ACA exams at pwc! I will be enrolled at the pwc graduate programme 2021 and I have no clue how to prepare for it right now.
Zetch I joined last September as a graduate. When it comes to college & work they teach you from the very basics again so don’t worry about not knowing anything on day 1. If you’re joining PwC and really want to get a head start, might be worth looking into alteryx and tableau. They’re absolutely rinsing it atm lol
@@zetch972 Thank you! I'm graduating in 2021. I originally applied for the 6-week audit program for PwC but because of COVID-19, it got postponed into the graduate programme for 2021. How about you?
Ngl, sometimes I feel like an imposter because all my Professional exams have been between high 50s / low 60s. I'm just scraping it. Just need to one last boost to get me through finals - fingers crossed.
You can do any degree - Accounting and Finance is technically the most relevant but doesn’t necessarily give you an advantage when applying for training roles. Pick a degree that you will enjoy and that you thing you would do well at (I am currently training at a Big4 firm and I did a law degree). You should try to get as much experience through internships at chartered accountancy firms (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC, RSM, Mazars etc.) and apply for a graduate training role once you have graduated. You can specialise in either Audit/Assurance or Tax whilst studying for the ACA/ACCA.
@@adderleydezigns I am only 16 isn't it true in the UK you need to do basic level of accounting for 4 years AAT. And then get a part time job and gain experience and then get ACCA
Someone M - No, you do not need to do the AAT qualification to train as a chartered accountant in the UK. You just need an undergraduate degree of some kind or you can join as a school leaver at age 18 after completing A-Levels
Hi Paul, thanks for the video. Do you have any tips on how to pass the professional level exams (currently doing FAR, AA and TC). I know everyone says question practice but I’m still highly worried, especially with the time pressure. Any tips? Thanks!
Hi, I did FAR (89) and AA(83) last December, then TC(87) and FM (79) this March, and honestly question practise and time management is the most important! Exams are quite time pressured so practice in time limits! Hope this helps :)
A great and informative video. Do you think it is possible for someone not from the UK to pursue the ACA qualification in the UK and get a training agreement with a firm/employer?
Hi paul. Which sub-module would you highly recommend in Business planning (Professional level) ? Banking or taxation? Which ever you recommend, kindly justify why.. Thanks
@@ollieking31Well, I am from the UK and both ACA and ACCA are governed in the UK. ACA is generally preferred by BIG 4 and some of the more prestigious accounting practices, but it doesn't mean that ACCA is worse by any means. ACCA is just a different charter and gives the same powers as ACA, both qualifications are well recognised and sought after.
please let me know about future of CA qualification due to Aritifical intelligence A.I .. we are listening alot rumors about A.i that soon it will vanish our CA profession
I am thinking about ACA or ACCA, can't really make my mind up. Also is a University Degree necessary and can I do ACA part time with a firm ? is that possible ? Thanks
@@nissangharti1615 It will differ from firm to firm but not massively. It’s mainly due to the high cost of resits as that cost will build up over the 3 years and become an un-needed burden for the firm. Also, if an employee is taking 2 tries every exam, the firm may see them as a “not so good” fit for the role in the future. Despite this, some firm a may be more lenient which could make what you’ve heard true. Stay safe
@@artmckeen6102 thanks for the reply mate. I have got reconsidering my offer in a big 4 company because I am not sure about leaving my current job now. What do u think?

Well done ! What did you study at uni? Did you do an internship?
There’s not much to prepare for tbh
James K What’s your experience like?

Great video as always, nice to see your channel growing recently.
Remember when you had like 40 subs lol!
Great videos mate, could you make a video on how you revised for 2 prof exams at a time? - revising schedule and tips?
Thanks for all of the advice!
I just got my highers or a levels and I want to be an ACCA Accountant what course do I need to do. And how do I do it ?

Brother, would you suggest to practice question even if you can't remember the notes properly or not?
Great video with great advice.

Banking or taxation?
Which ever you recommend, kindly justify why..
Thanks
Great video !
Great video. Would you recommend the ACA qualification over the ACCA? can you do a comparison? many thanks.
Good question 👆
Joseph Kongwa heard ACA is better because it is internationally recognised
Most FD roles if not all require an ACA. There’s a reason all the top accounting firms do ACA and not ACCA!

really helpful!

we are listening alot rumors about A.i that soon it will vanish our CA profession
HOW CAN WE DONLOAD THE SYLLABUS OF EACH MODULE .CAN U PLZ PROVIDE THE LINK FOR THAT.
If you 'focus on yourself' and allow your work to suffer a little, can't they fire you for 'poor performance'?
I am thinking about ACA or ACCA, can't really make my mind up.
Also is a University Degree necessary and can I do ACA part time with a firm ? is that possible ?
Thanks
Before I start my answer I want to give ALL the glory to God and Jesus Christ and His Holy Ghost.
ACA. No contest.
Your future self will thank you.
Any notes
I thought this was great!!!
Is 2 strikes per paper?
It is 2 strikes over the whole qualification. Hope this helps
@@artmckeen6102 are you sure? How do you know may I ask? I heard someone say 2 fails per paper.
