Time factor would be pretty much the same especially if you are in the ICAP stream, you will get off only when you sit for an ICAP exam. In our time (AFF) no holidays were expected if you were sitting for an ACCA exam (even getting the exam day was some thing of a struggle). Things would be pretty much the same with FRSH too. Although one positive thing there is that the firm is a registered ACCA employer.

Well, yeah awais that is what I am saying, at FRSH you can manage to get yourself registered as an ACCA student, in which case youâll be able to rope of some holidays for your studies. However, in case of AFF there is no such concept of holidays for ACCA, because I donât think that AFF are a registered ACCA employer, get my point there. However, I must warn you that even in FRSH if you are registered as an ICAP student, youâll probably not be able to get any holidays for ACCA that is some thing you will have to manage on your own time.
Well, time constraint is the hardest thing in CA, other wise there isnât much to studies and passing the exams. Itâs about how you manage a work â study life style. Donât get too muddled up with the firm you have to join The Big3 (AFF, FRSH, THK) in Pakistan are as good as each other, especially from a studentâs point of view.
