If a person fails to pass a single paper of a module in six attempts; then what should be the recourse?
As per your conclusion he will be allowed to retake his module for seventh time.
If this is true, I wonder how the decision of curtailment of total attempts will make sense.
I don't know what ICAP will finally be coming up with on this matter but I believe this policy means that such candidate will have to start from a scratch if he desires so.
However, I agree that it is bit brutal to close down a way forwrad for struggling candidates; I fear under this scheme attempts will be kept on counted even if candidate will not be appearing for certain number of attempts. This appears bit unfair and students should seek clarification to plan their career beforehand. Required dialogue should be made (even at CASA level) if required.
I personally sent dissenting comments on this proposal but certainly decisions are derived by the mindset of majority.
As far as other institutes of the world are concerned I guess such rules are implemented at other parts of the world as well including ICAEW.
Correct me if I am wrong.
