I have 30years experience in Accounts, my last role was as a Financial Controller, but I never got around to taking exams. Does anybody know what exemptions I would get in the AAT exams.
Regards

You may be exempt from level 2 AAT. Try https://www.aatskillcheck.org/sign-in.aspx to check your skills level.

I passed all excepting one subject in level four but lost them to the 10yr rule,now I don’t have the energy to start over,plus the cost. Do I really have to re-do all?
I had replied to a similar question to one of the posts in the forums.
If you are in the UK, then I recommend studying from an accredited college which offers AAT courses. There are lots of options available at least here in the UK. There’s Premier Training, Kaplan Learning, Accountancy Learning and Home Learning College to name a few…Its best to study from one of these as the provide proper guidance and practical solutions to difficulties that you might face while learning.

Guys, Im currently a Police Officer of 10 years and aged 33. Prior to the Police I attended college and completed Advanced GNVQ business management, financial services, business law. I`m looking for a career change and I keep getting drawn back to finance, I need to be pointed in the right direction for distance learning as full/part time college isnt an option due to my current employer not being able to provide day release. It has to be relativley cheap aswell due to finances etc.
Any advice would be a great help.
Jason

Do you want to know what exemptions you might get if you decide to study further after AAT? or exemptions you might get in AAT because of your finance background?

Jason, the best way out is to study using a distance learning course. A member has mentioned above the names of some of the better colleges in the distance learning area. I am personally studying AAT from Home Learning College and its really good. I took up this course just to learn the basics about accounting.
If you feel strongly for finance, then start off with the AAT certification, and progress to either an ACCA or CIMA certification. Do bear in mind that AAT will take at least two years to be completed (all 4 levels). However, you will get exemptions for certain subjects when you proceed to study for either ACCA or CIMA. The benefit here is, AAT will help you get the basics right and prepare you for a financial career through the non-uni graduate way. Plus, since it is distance learning you do not even need to worry about commuting to college, missing out on lectures or reporting absent to your work. I signed up with Home Learning as they were transparent in their dealings. check out the available courses @ Home Learning
There are other colleges but check for hidden fees, postage costs, book costs etc before signing up.
