ACCA Exemptions

edited June 18 in AAT student discussion
I have just completed my AAT Technicians level exams and I am waiting for my results in August. I have considered going on to do ACCA in Semptember and I tried to find out about exemptions for my AAT qualifications but with no luck. I contacted ACCA but they would not tell me as they said I had to wait until I got my results and then I could only write to them to apply. No-one would even give me any details about the exemptions. therefore, it seems that I cannot start the course because I do not know which paper to take.

I have taken PEV, PCR, MSP (Project), DFS, OCMC (Cash Management) and PTC. Does anyone know which exemptions this will give me for ACCA?

I assume there must be others in this situation, has anyone else had this problem?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You would be exempt from the 3 Part 1 papers.

    Hope this helps.

    Have a look at this booklet (link)

    https://www.acca-business.org/pdf/AAT_Exemptions_Booklet.pdf

    I think it might help

    ACCA no longer sponsor AAT and have a rival technician qualification CAT, but they still recognise the AAT

    Hi

    If you complete the entire intermeidate and technician stages, you will be exempt form the entire ACCA part 1.

    Exemptions are available for 1.1 if you have FRA and DFS and 1.2 If you have ECR and PEV PCR.

    Hi

    What about 1.3? Do I get exemption for this paper as well?

    Re:ACCA Exemptions

    As I stated above, you can claim exemption for 1.3 if you have completed the entire technician stage, the exemption being for the entire part 1. You can claim exemptions for 1.1 and 1.2 on an individual basis as per the AAT units I noted above.

    Hi,

    Sorry if I'm being a bit thick but I'm still not sure I understand. When you talk about the entire Intermediate and Technician levels, do you mean I need to have taken every unit in each of these levels or will that fact that I have passed the Intermediate and Technician levels be enough (i.e. you do not need to take every single unit to gain that level)?

    Hi

    Yeah you need to have passed the Intermediate and technician level, i.e. have your Intermediate and techncian level certificates. But like I said, some unit alone will grant exemptions form 1.1 and 1.2
