onto technician

valentino46

hi guys,

i am still revelling in the glory of passing FRA and am extremely looking forward to ECR in december.
I will be going forward and ordering Technician Level through premier training in January but am slightly unsure as to what units i have to do and what units would be better to choose?
I have not been able to find any real in depth info on what each of the units covered so if anyone could fill me in on anything that would be great

cheers

PCR - Contributing to the planning and Control of Resources - Exam

MSP - Managing Systems and people in the Accounting Enviroment - Project

OCMC - Operating a Cash Management and Credit Control System - ST

AK002

Out of the optionals i've picked IAP2 and BTC.

Out of the options i chose CM/CC, BTC and PTC. I found BTC to be the most difficult out of the options.

If you are wanting to go on to study CIPFA later you will want to take the two taxes, as you will get full exemptions, i am not aware of any other further studies which require you to take certain options to get all the possible exemptions.

ACA also requires you to have both tax's.

Theres a list on there website of what you need to have covered in AAT to be exempt from the first 3 years of ACA to do the AAT fast track route.

Good Luck

I did, PTC, BTC and IAP.

Benefits of doing IAP was that when I did BTC in the summer, I still would have become an MAAT member, aslong as I passed the costing papers.

I would recommend doing PTC & BTC if you are working in practice.

However, if you are in industry, specially sale ledger, CC/CM will be useful and I would think CC/CM and IAP would be more applicable.

i choose ocmc and iap as i thought i'd be more likely to pass them than the tax exams!

if i was to go onto CIMA, what would be the best options for me.

as i work out in germany and plan to move further afield, i want the most recognised qualification and i think (i may be wrong) CIMA would be the best.

any advise would be really appreciated.

I would suggest not doing Audit as CIMA isn't an audit supervisory body anyway so it wouldn't be as useful. I did both tax units at AAT and found them interesting, but I've actually done more credit control at work. I don't think you get any actual exemptions from Managerial level CIMA exams on the basis of the AAT: just the five certificate papers.
