Hello everybody<BR><BR>My tutor has signed me off for the Project and am hoping to get my technician certificate in August if not earlier! I passed all my tech exams up to February 2005 and must admit the project is the hardest thing I have had to do. Passing exams was much easier. And since I have already fulfilled the one year work experience, I am hoping to get full MAAT status once I put my membership application through.<BR><BR>And for everyone of you still studying - GOOD LUCK. Never give up!<BR> <BR>BEST WISHES EVERYONE

Congrats!!<BR><BR>I am also waiting to get my Tech certificate in Aug as I've not long had my project signed off, got the experience and I completed all Centrals last Dec (only had Sim to do June which I passed).<BR><BR>For all those about to embark on Tech level - don't give up, it's worth it in the end!!<BR><BR>Helen

Congrats to the both of you, im hoping to start the tech level next year, with a possible re sit of one exam.<BR><BR>How would you advise that i do the exams, do you think it's best to do them over a longer perios of time say 18months as i'll have a resit to do instead of trying to do it in one year?...<BR><BR>Do you know how long your pass results last for if you do it this way? I'm worried that i'll run out of time.<BR>

Treacle<BR><BR>I started tech level with both Int exams to do - the AAT messed up my exam entry so I sat them for the first time in the Dec of tech level.<BR><BR>I spread tech level over two years as I wanted to pass first time rather than cram it all in and have a load of resits.<BR><BR>It took longer obviously but I never failed any exams and found it much easier than some fellow students who had to cram loads.<BR><BR>I think there's a time period in which you need to complete AAT - not sure how long it is (ACCA is 10 years) but I wouldn't worry about running out of time but spreading it over 18 months!<BR><BR>I personally would take the 18 month option as there is a lot to do.<BR><BR>I did the two Int papers and the core tech papers in the first year then did the two optionals and the project in the second year.<BR><BR>Good luck!!<BR>Helen

I didn't find tech level too bad. The worst unit I found was DFS. The costing units follow on from Tech so they're ok.<BR><BR>I did personal tax and cash man - cash man is a nice easy unit! (and it's a devolved which is good)<BR><BR>I wasn't too keen on the project though - took me ages to do as you have to do it in your own time and I'm awful at getting the motiviation - it's easy when you're sat in a class studying together (I'd be hopeless at distance learning).<BR><BR>My advice to you is start the project early - I left mine to late and only just got it in!<BR><BR>Some people took bus and personal tax - didn't appeal to me. I think the rules are similar and some people got them a bit confused.<BR><BR>Think about what you're planning to do in the future and where your interests lie when choosing options. <BR><BR>Good luck!<BR>
