May I ask how do you balance work and studying? What is the workload like when you have deadline for exams?

Hello Yunzhu. I would recommend careful planning, I set up a study timetable each year of studying my ATT. Once you have applied for the classes you can plan around those dates. Managers and the team around you are all very supportive for taking study leave and time for your exam. They are always on hand to offer guidance on any topics as well.

Thank you Fiona! How long in total do you plan to finish the ATT qualification? I also noticed there are some other qualifications such as CTA qualification from the graduate scheme. Do people accopmlish two qualifications in three years as well? Thank you so much!

Hi I completed the ATT qualification within a year, there are 3 exams to complete held in May and November each year. There are also 3 computer based multiple choice exams to pass, these are for Accounting, Ethics and Law. Following this you can apply for your CTA qualification. With the awareness exemptions you will have 3 exams to complete. Some people complete this one at a time (May and November), others do one in one sitting and two in the next.

I am impressed,Fiona! I really appreciate your answer! I finished seven ACCA exams out 13 and I would love to accomplish ACCA first. I was wondering how I should negotiate it with EY? Thank you so much!

EY are very supportive. I was recruited as an experienced hire, supported to complete my accounting qualification before beginning my ATT. Within the recruitment process I would bring this to the attention of the interviewers.
