ACCA help needed

Hi,

Im in the process of applying for ACCA. At the moment I am looking for a trainee accountant role that would put me through my studies. However because of my degree I have certain exemptions for a number of modules (5).

My question is should I apply for the exemptions and pay the registration fee and exemption fees. By doing this would it make me more employable? and what can I put on my CV?

Or should I save my money wait until I get a job and have the employer pay for these costs?

Thanks
