Hi there i am a ACCA student.I'll be finishing the course in 2007.For job purposes everyone ask for experience what i dont have .I was thinking is there any way to have some experience b4 i finish the course.for example does anybody some sort of firms or org who allows students like us to have some experience .Doesn't matter if it is free.


any suggestions welcome.


thanx in advance.

You can apply for summer internships, but if this is your final year it appears to be too late.

Also, you're not going to have time to do work-experience if you're in final year, unless you're very organised. But I'd suggest English lessons first, mainly spelling as if your application form is similar to your posting style perhaps it is lucky you work with numbers.

Why not contact a local charity? They could always do with help.

Have you tried contacting the careers department of your university?

When I was at uni, I used to get summer work placements through the careers department.

They may not be able to get you a placement till next summer, but this may still be helpful, since ACCA exams are usually in June, but the results are not published until August, you could at least get a few months experience, before you start applying for jobs as an affiliate.

Also, have you tried visiting the ACCA website? They have a section called ACCA experience where you can search for employers in your area with training vacanices.
