    Hi,
    i want to get into accountancy as a career change and am a little unsure about the best approach. I need to do a distance learning course as i am in full time employment, and am caught between an introductory course at the OU and a distance learning course in AAT level 2 at Premier Training.

    AAT appears to be a more recognised qualification than an introductory OU course, and so i am leaning towards this but before i jumped in i wanted to get other opinions.

    Thanks Rob

    The Open University has an excellent reputation throughout the UK and abroad.. A qualification from the OU will certainly open doors for you and it will certainly get you interviews with potential employers.

    If you want to study the AAT then You should look at training with Kaplan; they are the by far the largest.
    I am doing their home study course and it is first class. So far I have passed all my exams at the first attempt and the tutors are great!
