General ACCAACCA - PER time limit

See https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/practical-experience-per/recording-experience.html "It's best to record your progress as you go along, adding new roles if you change jobs and getting you’re time signed off if you are leaving a role." "You can work on multiple objectives at the same time and send any combination of objectives and elements to your supervisor for approval." So much better to take a piecemeal approach - you only have to look at some of the posts on the QUALIFIED forum (which is now most relevant to you as an affiliate) to see all the complications that arise if objectives are not signed off as achieved.

Thanks a lot Kim. I will have a look there now. Do you advise that I should record and ask supervisor to sign each objective once I think I've done them rather than leaving all later? thanks.

I think you should judge as you go along - if your work at some point covers multiple objectives and you finish one and another will be completed relatively soon - it won't hurt to wait. But if completing another is some months off you might be better to "bank" what you've completed.

As an accounts assistant you may not be able to complete some objectives as many of the options are quite stretching. As you have to get three years experience you’ll develop in your career and can complete the PER over that time. I did this, completing it after almost three years and a promotion. But I didn’t start the exams until after a year in the role - two more exams to go.
