AAT qualified?

Question

i want to know if you are a fully qualified accounting technician without practice experience can you go into an accountancy practice when you have the full aat qualification. i work in accounts payable at the moment and i want to know if my qualification will get me a proper accounts position?

Answer 1

hi i am also studying aat and i'm at technician level. AAT is a recognised qualification and if you've got at least a years (full time) experience and you've completed you studies and pay registration you get the status MAAT after your name.

if you wish to further yourself eg ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA you may be exempte from some of the units or the first year.

by right you should be able to get a "proper" accounting job and i think your employer should have considered your qualifications and reviewed your pay.

the best thing to do is contact the aat themselves (always quoting your student/membership number). youcan even register online to see available FAQs and services available
