    Hiya

    Depends:

    If you are on the NVQ route - PLB
    If you are on Diploma route - IAC

    There are also simulation exams in between

    Thank you

    Is the NVQ better to have than the diploma?

    Hi

    Both are the same qualification at the end of the day. The NVQ is designed for people already working in the finance environment as it requires you to provide a portfolio of evidence that you can perform things within the work place.

    The diploma route eliminates this.

    I am on Intermediate - I did NVQ at Foundation and now on the diploma route. There really is no difference apart from I do not need to provide evidence from work and I have a few more modules to do!

    ok brilliant thank you. I checked it out on the ACCA and could not see that you can get onto the ACCA using the diploma, but cant see why not. I will find it hrd to build a portfolio of evidence as my manager is qualified through experience

    My line manager was qualified by experience - it makes no difference to the portfolio being built for AAT. Although they prefer qualified accountants QBE is okay to sign off portfolios and work experience.
