Relevant work experience worries

System

Hi there,

I may be jumping the gun a little as the hardest part is yet to come in the form of Technician level but still.

Having received my Intermediate certificate, i have now started to think about full membership and the experience i will need to provide to do this.

I have a little Payroll experience having processed timesheets and done a bit of reconciliation work.

Hoever most of my time in the last two years has been Accounts Receivable work including raising invoices, cancelling invoices and bad debt write offs, posting payments to/from a suspense account and also clearing refer to drawer cheques as well as a little year end balancing.

I work part time for the National Trust as a Volunteer Accounts Asssistant and at the moment am preparing an internal audit of the year's takings ready for external inspection.

I just wondered whether people would think this is enough to qualify for full memebership?

What have other people done work experience wise to gain full membership?

Thanks,

Ben.

Also,

Just wanted to add another question,

I have read that i have three years to remain as a student member to gain the relevant experience required for full membership, but what happens if after these three years i still do not have the experience, am i locked out forever from applying for full membership?

Thanks,

Ben.

Ben,
I think you are giving yourself a hard time for no reason. The best people to speak to here are the AAT. They are the ones who will judge if you have enough experience or not. When you are halfway through Technician, they will send you a Full Membership form or e-mail them now and ask for a form. Fill it out and they will then tell you if you have the relevant experience and it will speed up the process once you complete the year.
Good Luck
