AAT v Graduates Help!

Registered Posts: 1 New contributor 🐸
Hi all
I wonder if anyone can help. I am currently applying for a training contract to study the ACA qualification with a firm and in doing so will be up against graduate applicants.
About 9 months ago I read an article in a magazine which showed statistically students who first study and complete the AAT qualification did better in the professional exams than graduates, however I cannot remember which magazine it was or find the article.
The magazines I read are, Accounting Technician, Pass, PQ and CA.
If anyone has a copy of this article or could point me in the right direction as to where it could be found I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks

Why not contact the ICAEW? Perhaps they could help provide evidence.0

It seems that graduates tend to get the nod over AAT students.
It's ashame, but most ACA contracts look for 2.1 graduates, with no specified subject!
A friend of mine did an Engineering degree and went onto ACA, whereas I wasnt able to as I dont have a degree :-(
If you are offered an ACA training contract without a degree you should grab it with both hands!0
