Default Accounting carrer advice needed
Hi all! I'm a newbie there and I have a serious question about career in accounting.
I'm starting ACCA courses at lsbf as I was told that such courses give good prospects.
Can you please tell me about the real prospects after such courses. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Do you have a training contract or are you self financing?

Stranger things have happened Probably better of doing Level 2 CFA to be taken seriously in your shoes though. Loads of people do IMC and CFA 1 but they usually have an MSc as well or so I'm told by applicants.

Have you done any background checks on this institution? I see their Birmingham 'campus' operates from the same address as a dodgy recruitment company.
