in AAT Level 4 (Level 8 in Scotland)
I've completed ATT and I would like to continue studying for ATT, but my employer (manager) doesn't want be my sponser, the reason is ATT is totally irrelavant to my job. I will fund myself, I would appreciate some advice.

    Could you just buy the text books and study at home? That way you would not run up large bills.

    Might take you a while though - but you should make progress.

    According the student prospectus, if I apply to be registered as a student and must be supported by a statement from one sponsor. It is frustrating.....

    May be obvious but have you explained to your current manager that by being a sponsor that the company are not saying they will support you financially or with any practical experience? All he is doing is saying that in his opinion you are fit to be a member of the ATT.

    study ATT

    Basically he doesn't want to help me, he held the student prospectus for two weeks, everytime i ask him, he said he will read it and contact HR. Last Friday I asked him again and I would like to have the prospectus back.
    I contacted ATT today, they will accept my tutor as my sponsor duo to my special circumstance. I will phone her tomorrow and ask for help. Fingers crossed!

    Hope your tutor is all happy to help!

    Just a thought, my employer is not my sponser for ATT, a chartered accountant I know agreed to sponsor me, she was aware of the type of work I was doing etc and agreed that I was a suitable person, in her opinion, to study ATT and become a member.
