AAT Level 4 - Do I need a training provider? Is it compulsery

harrydavies18

I have been looking all over the internet for an answer to this question and so far I haven't been successful in getting a straight answer. Is it possible to do my AAT Level 4 by myself buying the books and then just book and attend the exams when I am ready? If anyone has any experience with this or knows the answer please let me know!

Hi,
I studied AAT level 2 part time evenings (2 evenings per week)
Level 3 I studied part time evenings (2 evenings per week)
Level 4 I studied solo, brought the books, did the practice exams and passed every exam first time except Personal Tax due to lack of practice exams, switched p.tax to Auditing and passed first time.
The ICAS project you will need a mentor, which you have to pay for.
Definitely do-able, much faster and much cheaper!

I'm on ACCA F4 now sitting my exam Apr 13th 2016

The only question you have ask yourself is do you have the motivation to keep studying on your own accord.

I did level 4 just studying at home from textbooks I bought apart from the ICAS project where you do need tutorial support but this can be by distance learning. I passed all my exams first time including the dreaded Personal Tax. What worked for me was to use BPP books to study from and Kaplan books for extra reference if I needed more guidance. Also, the question bank textbooks by BPP were brilliant for revision. The best part of studying this way is that it is at your own pace and at times that suit you.

Good luck on your first ACCA exam!
