S.1 Ep. 4 Applying for Articling before Completing the NCA Process?

In this episode, I preach the message that you do not have to wait until you are completely done with the NCA process before applying for an Articling Process. It is okay to apply in anticipation of your NCA completion, insofar as you will complete the NCA exams before the articling cycle actually resumes, and you can communicate that effectively in your articling application package. Personal experience, not legal advice. As always, good luck on your licensing journey!

S.1 Ep.3 Getting Assessed for Minimum NCA Examinations

In this episode, I share what I was told was a useful strategy to ensure I didn't get assessed to write more than 5 NCA Examinations by the FLSC. Does this strategy work? I have absolutely no idea. Did it work for me? Again, I don't know. Is there any harm in employing it? I think not. Ultimately, I'm simply just copying and pasting a piece of advice I was given four (4) years ago. As always, good luck on your licensing journey!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
