    Hello everyone πŸ™‚ I started my ACCA at the age of 24(January 2015) and in march 2016 i was done with my first module(FIA).Now at the age of 26 i am in the second module. Well if i will go with same speed without getting failed i should become a ACCA affiliate at the age of 27.I wasted 4 years after my A levels.According to my father i am too late for ACCA and the higher education.
    Anyone else here of my age ?

    You’re father doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s never too late to better yourself and make yourself more valuable.

    I am 51. Last week I sat my final 2 option papers. Age is not a barrier, it just provides experience. Do it at your own pace, it is not a competition!

    I started my ACCA journey at 24. I’m now 27 and am awaiting the result for my final exam.
    I’m not exactly old, but as people have said above, it is never too late.
