edited June 9 in AAT member discussion
I bacame a full member of AAT in October last year, and as a result have just managed to land myself a nice new job where they are going to put me through CIPFA.. (Glutton for punishment.)<BR>While I've been in my current job I've continued to update my online CPD log whenever I've done relevant excercises/courses.<BR>Now that I'm going to start CIPFA do I need to continue trying to update the CPD log? I would've thought CIPFA would be enough CPD for anyone..

    Hi,<BR><BR>I'm doing ACCA at the moment, having also become a member of the AAT in October.<BR><BR>I contacted the AAT about whether my ACCA taught and revision courses count as CPD for the AAT. The answer was yes.<BR><BR>So, I am putting all my courses for ACCA (together with any other little bits that count as CPD at work) into my AAT online CPD log. I expect the same would apply to CIPFA.<BR><BR>

    Thank you for clearing this up as I phoned up AAT not so long ago to make sure that my CIMA training counted towards CPD and I was told not.... Due to this being a formal training course.<BR><BR>I was somewhat surprised by this as one of the best ways to advance your knowledge and build onto AAT is by going on to do either CIMA, ACCA, CIPFA etc<BR><BR>Good Luck to anyone awaiting results

    I've e-mailed the AAT, linking them to this thread, to find out once and for all whether ACCA/CIMA etc. courses count towards CPD!<BR><BR>I'll let you know what happens.<BR>

    Hello. I am the AAT's Professional Development Manager, and am responsible for the CPD scheme.<BR><BR>Any activity counts as CPD as long as it results in a significant learning outcome that is relevant to your professional role or career development. Studying for further accountancy qualifications clearly meets this criteria, and so definitely does count as CPD.<BR><BR>This activity is indeed an excellent way to advance your knowledge and build on your AAT qualification, and a great commitment to your continuous development.

    I am going to study the Certificate in Personnel Practice starting in the new school year and would like to know that as this is not an accounting/finance qualification but run by CIPD that it would count towards my CPD.<BR><BR>Andrew
