Hi qualified my aat level 3 December last year, I’m not sure how much “accounting” I can do as I’m finding it a bit dull. What I prefer is automating and trying to reduce the manual work load in practice.

Has anyone went from AAT to an ai engineer / ml engineer course.

I would still work in practice on the accounts work, but implement programmes to help our firm with the manual stuff.

Anyone sat INAC recently got any tips? Revising and practicing written answers but it all seems fairly just common sense which worries me. Read the case study and working through videos/practice exams

Aat lvl 4. I did bad in general but my consistent weakness is the essay questions. Whats the generic structure u can follow to outline main points in the essay questions? I dont even know what to write on those and in the exam i was just freestyling and going way off topic being creative with my answers lol.

As the tile suggests, I'm looking into entry positions in accounting ideally via AAT apprenticeship.

I'm working in a completely unrelated sector (health care/dental) and am looking into accounting as a change in career via AAT apprenticeship route

I'm 25yo based around cambridge, no experience whatsoever in the finance world. Could anyone provide me with any tips, insights into what the job actually looks like and what sort of companies to look into in cambridge?

Hey guys

I just said POBC level 2. So in ITBK I got 93 percent. Today for POBC I scored 84 percent. The thing is ok great passed but I feel down because ideally you want 90 plus to feel like you know what you are doing. I was also thrown off by one of the questions on working out the new balance of the cash book maybe? It said balance in may was credit in cash book. So by luck I just did that - debit and + credit entry to update the cashbook and somehow I got it right but it was a fluke. Im scared if this result sets precedents for the next level 2 exams and also level 3/4 in terms of ability.

Hi everyone, I'm currently doing level 3 but for various reasons I've just hit a wall when it comes to studying and I haven't been able to get into a good flow for a while now.

I did well in Level 2 and to try and spark my interest again I'd like to offer to help anybody who's struggling with anything in Level 2, no matter how big or small.

My marks in the exams were

Intro to Bookkeeping - 86%

Principles of Bookkeeping Controls - 94%

Principles of Costing - 89%

The Business Environment -81%

I'm not asking for any money, just trying to get out of a rut.

Does anyone currently work in charity finance or used to work there?

so i gave the exam first around a month ago, and i got 62%, mostly because i had difficulty on tasks 2,6 & 9. now that i'm studying for it again, and there's a lot of pressure on me to sit the exam within the next 7 days, i'm super stressed out and unsure how to revise.

should i read the textbooks again? i've done the practice assessments and don't find green light tests helpful, and it seems the resources even on youtube and stuff are so limited and outdated what with it being a tax exam and all. if anyone who has given the exam recently has any advice, please do share.

thanks!!

I’ve been working as an accounting for just about 2 years now for a small company, I did my level 2 for them, learning the language and terminology was really hard but I finally passed my level 2

I’m gonna start my level 3 soon and was wondering how hard people found it?

I’ve checked other peoples view on it saying the course is fine it’s just the volume,

I’m in the uk ofc and just need other people’s insight on it pls!

I am going to start L3 AAT, before I register and stuff I had some questions. I’ve just finished my A-Levels and want to self study starting from L3 (I’m going to apply for apprenticeships as well during it).

I don’t want to pay all that money for a training provider, I just want to pay for the registration and the exams. Can I complete L3 AAT with all the free online resources, should I buy any books or anything?

Upon completing L3 AAT, I want to start ACCA and get an entry level job. Should I do Level 4 AAT instead?

Just need some advice on this, any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask what people would do in my position and why.

So I completed my T-Level in Accounting and have been accepted into Uni to do Accounting and Finance. However, I'm not sure if going to Uni is worth it. My question is, what option would you guys choose from these 2 options?

Option 1: Go to Uni and get a degree in finance and accounting. After Uni, I will do ACCA.

Option 2: Start AAT level 4, and after I've completed that, I'll do ACCA. Self-study.

Any help or recommendations on other routes will be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’ve decided that to make a career change from a sole trader of a grocery store and get into accounting. Ive just turned 27 this month and have already completed level 2 AAT in 3 months and am now starting the Level 3 I hope to have the level 4 complete as well by the end of this year.

I’ve been hearing a lot that accounting is now cooked for people just getting into it and considering I’m already 27 I don’t know if I’m too late into this. My aim is to start chartered accounting pathway by June/July next year. My question is should I look for an entry job after finishing level 3 or should I just wait until I’ve done level 4. What are the job prospects in England. I’m from South Yorkshire and any accountants I know are in their early 20s and I already feel at a disadvantage.

I’ve been running my own store for the past 5 years but with cost of living and the way Tesco Asda etc have expanded this industry is now also coming to a halt in some sense.

Any advice would be appreciated

Hi,

I am starting an apprenticeship soon which will give me the AAT level 3 qualification.

I have just finished sixth form studying BTEC Business, ICT and Criminology.

I have no prior accounting knowledge and have looked through the syllabus (Its quite chunky).

Do you guys have any tips? Any resources? The provider for this is first intuition.

Also, the apprenticeship duration is 18 months, if I wanted to get this done quicker would that be possible? For example 12 months? Its just because I feel as though I am setting myself back after sixth form studying another level 3 qualification.

Thank you for reading.

My mind basically froze on task 5 & 6. I had a total of 30 minutes left to do task 5 and 6 and I spent 15 minutes trying to do a flipping Vlookup???☠️ I’m great with task 1-4 but I just feel like I’ve failed
