I just became an ACCA affiliate this month,

Don’t know why but still watched your video ensuring I’ve not done something terribly wrong wasting 4 years of my life.. 😂

[mixeduniverse]

I love your videos and also a current ACCA STUDENT.

[jovialiste]

Great video man. Gave me some food for thought. All the best from Ireland !

Wow your video is amazing. I am Nepali and currently studying local CA . But couldn't complete the 2nd level because sometimes the aggregate doesn't touches 50 and sometime fail in any 1 subject. My parents are saying me to leave CA and go abroad, so I agreed with there decision. But my dream is still to become CA so I am thinking to persue ACCA in qatar. So it is possible to manage everything by myself. To do registration myself, manage the books, manage the classes online and also the job

Hey. I have just discovered your channel(and subscribed). I appreciate your honesty comments on ACCA qualification. I am super keen on doing acca but I am being pressured to do the local qualification ( iam from Zambia). I am ready to put in all the hustle into my acca journey, but honestly i wouldn't say the same if I were to do the local qualification. Thank you for the work you are putting into these videos. Looking forward to more content.

ACCA is surely not easy . With lots of hard work, yes its possible..

[fatimanazeer]

Hi fellow ACCA student here. Good video.

[haroon]

wow i found someone just like me, 22 persuing my acca, got 3 papers left. I have no intention of being an accountant for 60 years, max 5 years to gain skills and capital, and then one day work for myself. its though balancing work, studies and my venture but gotta make it work

Thanks for your video, quite insightful, just starting my ACCA journey now.

[justinhansen]

Just came across your videos doing research on the ACCA qualification! Great content and insight! I also hold a degree in accounting not getting any recognition for my qualification. I am planning on starting my ACCA journey now who are you studying with?

I don’t like having the mindset of “it’s going to be hard”, more like “it’s going to be challenging and worth it”. I am just about to finish my master degree in business administration, finished my bachelor in business as well and did 2 internships at EY (audit company). It was challenging, but that what kept me motivated. Now my goal is to become a consultant and open my consultancy business and my obvious path that I see now is the ACCA qualification. What are your thoughts?

I already became one I near the end of my Foundation level and I found this video today

[ani_mesh]

My local Chartered Accountancy course forces me to give either 4 or 8 exams together and the exams only happen once every 6 months. This has me stuck cuz I gotta clear them together (like 2 groups of 4 papers, so 4 papers together) and if I don't clear them all, I fail everything and have to give them again. I'm thinking of moving to ACCA since it'll let me give one exam at a time. Like in my last attempt I cleared 5 out of 8 papers but it doesn't matter since I didn't pass them all.
Another reason I wanna move to ACCA is same as you, international opportunities. I don't wanna be stuck in one place forever.

Dude nice video currently doing ACCA foundation level

[shibila.k]

Hey conrad, first of all GREAT VIDEO
So im an ACCA student struggling real hard. Like ive failed the easiest paper of acca (BT) in my first attempt and then passed in the second attempt. Now im doing FA and its so damn hard. I feel like this is not for me. I take a lottt of time to study simple stuffs in acca. I always feel like i should quit but the value and potential this course offers is holding me back from quitting. I always wanted to travel the world, and i love the fact how acca is super flexible. But its soo damnn hard. Im wasting a lott of time in these knowledge level papers that my friends passed within just a few months. Im like completely lost. Idk what to do

[SonaliGChowdhury]

I am going to start acca at 27 age...I am not sure if I can do it or not🙃 but acca is my dream my burning desire to do it🙂
Not sure if it's worth to do it or not at this age... before due to lack of money I am not able to study early

[maisamsorosh]

Did 10/13 papers of ACCA straight out of high school. applied to countless jobs and did not get a single reply. I guess it was not worth it at all. Plus, slowly, starting to feel that the tuition providers were trying to sell us a magic people that would automagically give you value in the job market. Obviously it was just to take that money for their tuition.

is there anybody who can tell me I am totally wrong? or shared a similar experience with me?

[bushraasheikh]

I did degree in Accounting and Master's in Islamic finance. Been trying to find a job internationally on this field specifically but not luck yet. I currently teach Maths in Primary. Would you advice me to go for ACCA... as am currently doing reaserch about it. Am already 39yo. And i feel i don't wana waste anymore time on just teaching
