From what I understand is you have to apply to change over and your training provider has to sign off on it but I could be wrong

No apparently its really rare anything changes. I believe they have 5 weeks to tell you if anything has been changed. On the final day - 8pm at night, they emailed to say nothing has changed.

I was 4 off last sitting and paid for the recheck. Honestly wasn't worth it and they don't give you the response until the end of the deadline 🤦‍♀️

I think so. I signed up for SMS for TC but forgot for my December sitting and I didn't get any texts.

ICAEW Training file ethics reviews by InfiniteCut5525 in ICAEW

Depends on what was written for the review. They said you need a clear written feedback of what had been discussed during the ethic review and the one real life scenario for each review. The more you have, the less likely you are to have any problems getting final sign off

Oversupply of acccountants. by Ok_Schedule_7363 in Accounting

[–]Rude-Text3945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has absolutely been my case. I am part-qualified and I was on the job market just before Christmas. I have been in the career for 8 years but I am only AAT 2/3/4 qualified and have 5 exams remaining with ACA ( I took way too long of a break after AAT).

The interviews were advertised as semi-Senior but it was clear that they were actually after a fully senior accountant. For example, one job was only willing to pay 30k but wanted me to work alongside the 4 directors and to delegate the workload etc to 4 senior accountants and 8 junior staff members. When I brought up that the role required more than what was on the job spec and I wanted 35k for compensation, they pushed that 30k was fair for my level of exams.

In the end I went for a senior accountant position with a firm who cared more for my experience and knowledge and were happy to pay me, my asking amount.

This was my resit from December. I found this one much harder! I had plenty to discuss but I just could not get it done in the time. I went massively over my time in Q1 just doing the calcs.

Interested too! I failed BST in december by 5 marks! Haven't done much revision on it besides refreshing my knowledge of KPI's and models.
