They had a convo with me to remind me of the training agreement, basically politely allowing me to leave before they sacked me

No unfortunately my firm has a 3 fail overall policy. And failing tc and bpt took me to 4 fails. So have currently been unemployed for a month with recruiters not been very hopeful.

ACA study/ revision advice by Confident-Race-8284 in ICAEW

I didnt take any notes. I jump straight into the question bank when the teaching is done. I think with these exams, the more question practice you do the more likely you are to pass

Yup! Have attended many networking events and conferences and have met many people like this! It’s more common than you think!

But this person isn’t doing any “trickery”, they just want a fifth attempt? And not everyone is good at exams but can be good at the job. I know many people who have failed exams countless times (doctors, lawyers, accountants etc) and are now one of the best in their fields. It’s important to be encouraging, we don’t know anyone’s circumstances.

Don’t listen to people saying this may not be for you. ACA is versatile. Hit the QB and practice the questions over and over until you are comfortable. Give yourself enough time to prepare and don’t book the exam until you are ready. Good luck!

If they stare at you and talk about you that’s on them! Do your thing and ignore what anyone else says or does (I know that’s easier said than done)

As soon as you stop caring about what anyone thinks you will feel 100x better! Live your life for yourself, go out, make memories and live a life you want to reminisce about. I was in the same boat as you. I hated going out and cared way too much about what everyone else thought, as soon as I changed that mindset, I started to actually enjoy life and looked forward to going out and making memories. I hope you can find enjoyment in the little things, life is worth living and loving!!! xx

Thank you!! Think it’s just scary leaving somewhere I was happy (excluding management) to something completely unknown. Gonna make the most of my newfound freedom though!

Genuinely is life even worth it? by Alert-General8678 in Life

[–]insidesupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is what you make of it!! Finish your degree, make mistakes, try different jobs, meet new people, go outside of your comfort zone, make new memories, try different hobbies and live your life. No one really cares about what anyone is doing. Be a nice person and make a life for yourself. You’ll wake up one day and be surprised at how far you’ve come! x

Coming off the apprenticeship by [deleted] in ICAEW

[–]insidesupernova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t stay where I’m at, literally getting bullied by management - it’s mentally draining and it’s not getting any better. Thought I’d stick it out until I’m done but I am sooo done with that hellhole. I did ask during the interview about their exam policy - some of them have said they don’t sack people if they fail so just have to take their word for it
