Do I need to take the AA2 exams to apply for an AAT 3 course?

I am just wondering do I need to take the AAT 2 exams before I commence the the AAT 3 course? Or (when I finish the AAT3 course) could I take the level 3 exams without level 2 exams/certificate? Thank you!

Hi,

No, you can even bypass level 2 to go straight to level 3 if you wanted, however I'd recommend doing level 2 as it gives you a good grounding in accounting.

Thank you for your answer.
I want to do (learn) level 2 I just do not want to take the exams because there are quite expensive and my plan is that I am looking for a job after i finish the level 3 so I think I do not need the level 2 certificate (just the knowledge).

Personally I've done level 2 and 3, I'm nearing the end of level 4 now and employers liked the fact that I've done all three.

Are you working in finance now?

I am a payroll assistant at this moment.
Good for you. I have just started last week...but I am very ethusiastic.
