Simulations - any experience appreciated

Hi,

I wasn't sure whether this is the right place to ask a general question rather than a technical one but it looks like the best bet as I am studying for the Advanced Certificate by home study (FTC Kaplan).

I took ECR and FRA exams in December, passing ECR but (not quite!) FRA and so am quite familiar with the examinations. However, despite reading through my course materials I can't really understand how the Simulations I need to do work.

I've obviously taken exams at an AAT approved centre; would it be my first choice for a Simulation ? If so, how is this arranged and what flexibility is there in times / dates ?

I am not working in accounting, and my employer (thankfully) is unaware of my studies so it is very difficult to get time off for exams / simulations exactly when I need it without giving myself away !

Some other supervisors for a Simulation that are accepted are say librarians, teachers etc. Has anyone ever had to ask for assistance in this way, and did you manage to get it ?

Any advice much appreciated.

Have you tried any local colleges which teach AAT? You may be able to pay them to sit your skills tests along side their taught course students?
