Applying for MAAT

liveprincess

Hi everybody, I hope somebody will be able to advise me. I am just in the process of submitting my work experience to apply for MAAT. I work in a manufacturing company and my job is purchasing/accounts 50%:50%. Can I use my experience as purchasing coordinator to prove the 7 of the Personal effectiveness competencies and then my accounts experience to prove the technical competency? It's just that it will be easier to describe my skills gained as purchasing coordinator as I deal with a number of people (suppliers, production managers, sales reps) on a daily basis than as the accountant because I don't really talk to any clients or customers, just to me line manager really. Hope this makes sense. If anybody has been in a similar situation or can advise me it will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Hi @liveprincess - yes, I can confirm that under the new(ish) competency framework the personal effectiveness competencies may have been gained in any workplace.

Here's a link to the AAT MAAT competencies guide, and here are some work experience examples for each competency (you might need to sign into your MyAAT account to access these).

Hope that helps!
