Re: Management Accounting Techniques Study duration
@wilburnet He is totally right. I would increase it to around 15 hours per week as preference, but it all depends on the content taught and how easy it is for you to retain the information. And yes do not leave the excel part it is very difficult.

Re: Management Accounting Techniques Study duration
If you can commit 10-12 hours per week then I'd say 12 weeks. Don't put off Excel practice until last. Also take a look at First Intuitions revisions on You Tube
Re: AAT Level 4 Exams
I am unsure of a time limit for sitting exams but you can most definitely sit one every few months, and you only need to resit the module you failed

Re: AAT Level 4 Exams
@sohag_77 Yes absolutely, you can take the exams on an exam-by exam basis. Have you looked at training providers?
Re: AAT Level 4 Exams
Once you register with AAT, you can take any exam at any time you want. AAT include quite a lot of resources and there is a lot on YouTube although I would strongly suggest you get yourself a set of books as well. You do not need to study with a provider. Hope this helps.
Re: AAT Level 3 Management Accounting Techniques Study Buddy?
Only joking above.
Have a go yourself at the paper, then watch him to see the areas that you need to improve on.
I cannot stress enough that the actually exam is far harder than the practice assessments; especially the excel parts.

Re: What is the best order to study the Level 3 units?
Hi anony123,
Thanks for your comment. I would say when a student can understand the double entry, ledgers (specially Vat transactions), it would help them to get better understanding in Tax process for Business.They would be more confident in answering AAT assessment questions.

Re: Any stories or advice from more mature members who managed to get into accounting in later life?
Hey Tom, I made the change and did my AAT well into my thirties. It took me six months and over 200 applications for entry level accounting roles before I got my first break. It was really disheartening at times but just keep at it. That was nearly 10 years ago now and I am just finishing setting up my own firm.Thanks for sharing that, been feeling down about it and wondering if it's me that's the problem! I'll just keep on going then and hopefully someone will give me a break sooner or later.
Re: Is it realistic to work remote and in a good position
Hi,
This is just my opinion so everyone will have their own.
There are jobs out there that still do offer fully working remotely from home and others offer hybrid where you have to come in the office 1 or more days in the office. Now working from home is great as it does allow flexibilty. So with regards to working from another country the things you would need to consider with any job is, firstly is it hybrid or fully working from home, hybrid means you would need to go in the office 1 or more days in the office now that can prove to be a challege if you are 100's of miles away. Also if they suddenly did require you to come in for an emergency work meeting etc, could you do make it in short notice, sometimes there might be a board meeting etc (this is just an example of the worst case scenario, employers do usually give a bit of notice) Secondly your location in the different country, do you have good internet and phone access (just incase they need to call you) in order to be able to complete your work, if not that could have an impact on you.
Hope this helps you.
Many thanks
