The short answer is yes, you can mention the AC, but only if it adds value to your narrative. It won't be seen as negative as long as you frame it positively and show growth.A sensible approach could be to:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Briefly state you reached the AC last year</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Note that the experience highlighted areas you've since strengthened (for example, commercial awareness, communication, confidence)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Show the steps that you have taken to improve, discussing real-life examples</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Reaffirm your continued motivation for the firm</li> </ul>This turns it into a positive - the firm already saw potential, and you have developed further since then!That said, I would generally try not to force it in to the application if it doesn't feel relevant. If you can't link it to clear improvement or it interrupts the flow of your application, it's completely fine to leave it out. It's not a requirement, and it won't harm your chances either way.Best of luck with your application <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
