Hi Everyone!
I am currently studying AAT and completed Level 2 within a few months. Basically I am not sure what path is best.
Ultimately I want to study ACCA but not sure whether I should study the full AAT before ACCA? I have 8 years experience in Finance but not directly in Accounting. I am worried if I study ACCA without AAT that I may be over qualified for any roles
Thanks,
Sasha
Late reply I know.
My feeling is that you should go for the ACCA option. By doing the AAT up to level 4, I believe that you only gain ACCA exceptions from F1 to F3. However, if you decided to start the ACCA now, you could have sat and passed on average 8 exams in that time – That is over half way through the entire ACCA qualification!
However, the learning curve for the ACCA is much higher, whereas the AAT learning curve is gentler.
Also note that you can actually transfer to AAT membership if you complete a certain number of the ACCA exams but feel it is too much for you – https://www.aat.org.uk/membership/join-aat-from-another-professional-body
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Matt
