With no disrespect, I know many may not get that far but as completing 1 paper too you can put that in CV. While a qualified accountant is who have finished a certain level of qualification.
AAT – Accounting Technicians/ Part qualified Accountant/ AAT Accountant.
IFA – Qualified Financial Accountant.
No one can say they are qualified accountant without certain level of education. But yes any one can say they are accountant at anytime but providing service is different story.
I am based in London and have different experience to you. Just to add, it’s not about what you know but who you know.
Part qualified is even if you do 1 paper.
Whoever can call be called Accountant not qualified. Yes about chartered.
I don’t want to be Certified Accountant but I want to be a qualied accountant accepted by many country and org but on a fast track. I do have a long term plan for CTA instead which wouldn’t need me to finish CA.
It all depends what student wants to be.
Yes in UK the other 4 or 5 awarding body are popular but still IFA has full membership and accepted by Banks; also members can be called qualified accountants.
Thanks mate. I think I have decided and will join IFA qualification. It’s cost and time effective to Uni. I could just join for final year in Uni after completing IFA level 5.
Best wishes.
Hi ED,
I have an interest in IFA too. I am from London. I actually have been planning to join IFA from Jan 2018 hopefully for level 5. I will only have to do 3 papers to complete the level 5 study as I have completed my AAT.
IFA are more of qualified Financial accountant and are level 5 max here in UK. So it’s below degree level which is why I am confused between joining ACCA or IFA.
What have you decided mate?
