Newbie here. Very excited!!!!!

Hi all, :thumbup1:
I'm Rebecca, most people call me Bec or Becci, I'm new to this forum and to AAT, well accountancy in general. On Thursday (pay day) I'm going to sign up for AAT level 2, I have no business studies background at all, I have a degree and diploma in Nursing, so not at all related but I'm looking for a new career and a new challenge. This is after MUCH deliberation and years trying to decide what I could do as a change from nursing.
I'm so excited and any advice or tips will always be greatfully received!!
I've already found browsing this forum so useful as to who to sign up with and who not to.

Only advice I can come up with is:
1. Enjoy
2. Plan your study time and stick to it as much as you can
3. Don't be afraid to ask questions!
4. Never give up!

Hiya Becci
I second what Rob has said, and welcome to the forum

Welcome to Accounting, The above is all sound advice. Don't be afraid to ask there are so many people on here with lots of different knowledge.
Good luck

One thing I would say is that Eagle (and Sonya in particular) are quite active in social media, so you might want to follow their Facebook page (as well as AAT's, of course!).
Enjoy your studies!

Hi Becci
I'm a fellow career changer (used to work in science labs) and changing to accounts/tax was the best thing I ever done.
Initially, when you start studying (and as already mentioned, make a timetable and stick to it) you will find that there are lots of new concepts (e.g. double entry) to get to grips with but as long as you keep studying it will all click and you'll be off, running and flying.
The key to passing your exams and getting your qualification, as already mentioned, is to make a study timetable and actually stick to it. I've done AAT and am currently doing ATT and the hardest thing about doing ATT is making a study timetable and actually sticking to it (rather than procrastinating on the AAT forums).
Good luck and don't give up!!!

So if I can do it anyone can, keep smilimg & stay positive.
