There was a thread a while back about an additional qualification that you could apply for that didn't require any exams as the AAT qualification covered the syllabus...
Can anyone find the thread... I'm hopeless LOL

I've no idea. Presumably one of the bookkeeping bodies? AAT Business Tax gives an exemption from one ATT paper, but that's all I can think of.0

Nah it was something like CPA or IPA or something along those lines :P0

IFA?

Yep you can get into a lower level of the IFA with AAT, forgot about that one!
Not sure why anyone would though, as the AAT is better known than the IFA.
IFA being Institute of Financial Accountants, nothing to do with financial advisors in this case!0 -
Don't you think it would look better on your CV if you have a few qualifications though? I know savvy managers probably wouldn't fall for it, but it indicates you're more qualified and would also help if you are working for yourself too (in terms of attracting customers)
No doubt there will be numerous exemption and membership fees mind.0 -

No, it indicates you are happy to pay twice for 2 sets of letters that mean the same thingand would also help if you are working for yourself too (in terms of attracting customers)No doubt there will be numerous exemption and membership fees mind.
The only valid reason I can think of for getting IFA membership is that they seem to have more mortgage lenders on board, though I know the main ones who didn't accept AAT are now accepting us, so that reason is now null and void
Seriously, save your money :-)0 -
I think you can get into ICB - Institute of Certified Bookkeepers as well?FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0
