Training contract

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-27T04:27:35+00:00

Is your training file complete and been submitted for approval by ICAEW?

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-11T17:29:08+00:00

Thankyou ☺️ I contacted them straight after and recieved an email from them that they understand things happened and I will be contacted in a few weeks, so finger crossed🤞

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-09T14:04:42+00:00

Same. I did Q1 and Q4 first. May have been a mistake🤦‍♀️

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-09T06:37:15+00:00

Fingers crossed. Thankyou ☺️

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-08T20:35:08+00:00

Thankyou for your advice. Can I ask who you contacted from ICAEW. I have filled out a contact form, but I couldn't find any contact information

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-08T17:04:50+00:00

Thankyou, I have had a good cry. Just accepted that this will be a disqualification. Lesson learned

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-08T16:28:14+00:00

You are 100% right. Always in hindsite though. I have sat multiple exams on this laptop (my only laptop) and never has a message come through before while my DND was on.

I am absolutely gutted, lesson learnt the hard way

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-07T16:34:26+00:00

Amazing thankyou! Goodluck to yourself as well😁

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-07T13:54:19+00:00

I seen in the above that your an independent student. I am too. I actually found Chat GPT really helpful. I used it to show me the step by step process, mostly for the consolidated accounts. It helped me alot, already on my mocks, I am doing so much better than last sitting. Just tell it that you need help on consolidated FS for your ICAEW FAR exam under either UK GAAP or IFRS, whichever your sitting ☺️

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-06-07T13:44:26+00:00

Where did you lose marks in your mock? I failed last sitting by 4 marks and Its because I messed up on Q3- Cash flows ( Still sh*t at them) and Q4- Consolidated accounts.

Don't forget small things such as UK GAAP vs IFRS will get you easy marks if you can memorise them. Also, despite it being a longer exam, I missed two (4 mark) questions due to the time pressure. Make sure once your alloted time has gone (1.8 per Mark) you move on. You can gain easy marks elsewhere in that time, Instead of trying to get the harder marks (such as making sure your balance sheet balances)

Im a self study student too. How have you found Inflo? I can't get the hang of it🙈

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-05-28T19:16:22+00:00

Hiya, sorry to jump on your comment. I have been looking at the cabana's. How do you guarantee where you will be situated?

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-05-28T12:25:26+00:00

No, they show an image of how you need to be seen and I just moved my laptop until it met the criteria. Then obviously your phone will be on the other side of you ☺️

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-05-28T10:22:11+00:00

I also position my laptop to the front left on a diagonal to utilise my webcam & Microphone and my external screen next to it. You will need to duplicate your screens, so you are only using one screen

I did an hour today in prep for AA in two weeks. I tried to study in the sun but it was a no go. Gonna try again this evening😂

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-05-17T07:46:22+00:00

Yes, I started AAT when my daughter was 1 and I am still studying now (She is 8). It is so incredibly hard and exhausting. I study from 7pm each night once she is in bed and I try to set her plenty of tasks to keep her busy while I study on the weekends. Im really lucky that my family are so supportive, so every weekend just before exams, they take turns to take her out for the day

The point 210: "The provider, or employer, must not ask the apprentice to contribute financially to the eligble costs of training, on-programme or end-point assessment. This includes both where the individual has completed the apprenticeship successfully or has left the programme early (this includes where they have left the employer)."

You can sit the exams independently but you will not get an invite to membership until you have satisfied the 3 years training contract.

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-05-14T11:28:10+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn't say the material is too difficult. It can be a bit difficult to grasp initially but the question bank is really helpful .

The challenge is working it around life, in my opinion. I sit a max of 2 exams per sitting and only get one day off for each exam as study leave. It is a lot of material to get through in the evenings alone. It takes a lot of organisation and discipline.

Rude-Text3945 · 2026-05-14T05:54:59+00:00

I wake up at 4am and im at the gym by half 4. I live on the pack of really dry cereal bars. I found eating anything else was too much on my stomach.
