    Hi guys,

    Just looking for some advice really.
    I have two interviews for advisory in the coming week.
    Ironic :rolleyes:

    I'm coming from a business background so dont really know how things work.

    Will I have to sit all the accounts exams? CAP1, CAP2 etc?
    How does this work with training? Will I have to attend classes at night?

    Any advice welcome please :) Im stressed out!!

    :(

    have you got a college education or what is your back ground. The majority of exemptions are based on college exams etc.

    I would suggest getting on ot he careers advice service of your college if you attended one.

    who are the interviews with and for what role, i.e. is it for a trainee accountant?

    Just wondered did anyone know how this would play out. Not sure I wanna spend another 3 years studying :-/

    It would be expected that you do the exams. It's not actually essential for the job like it would be for the audit or tax departments but clients would expect to get an accountant from an accountancy firm. Besides which it is a good qualification to have.

    EY Cork were happy to let their trainees to do whichever set of exams they wanted rather than chartered. This may make the lectures more flexible. This may have changed since. I'd imagine it's at the whim of whichever partner you're under so somebody else might want you to do chartered rather than letting you choose.
