hiya

so i guess i need to move across. is there a major benefit to getting the new books or are they the same thing really? Osborne call their books something a bit different is the Limited company accounts tutorial the DFS replacement?

    Hello Primble

    Yes - I think you are correct in saying that the Limited company accounts tutorial is the DFS replacement.

    I can't advise whether you need to get new books or not - sorry.

    All the best on the new standards.

    Hi Primble,

    I'm using the Osborne books for my studies. Yes, you are correct "Limited Company Accounts" is the textbook for the FNST unit :)

    Hi Primble,

    I've just called my college (Premier Training) as I now need to move to the new standards. I have ordered the new book although they said things haven't changed that much. I just need a fresh new book for a fresh start.

    I called the AAT as well and they have moved me over. Was on the phone for less than a minute and MYAAT is now all set for the new standards!

    Yeah, I finished my level 3 on "old" standards and actually sat my first level 4 exam on "new" standards last week, but I was still not showing on level 4 new standards until I phoned and requested that they switch me over. It updated immediately once I had called though.

    It probably will automatically update once the countdown is over on the homepage. If you are moving over you might as well give the AAT a call. It was a really quick call and my page updated straight away.

    Most of the level 4 exams cover 2 "learning areas" one is usually "principle of" (which is covered by the written theory questions) and the other is the actual "drafting of"(tested by the practical exercises)
