So I've got no AAT qualifications...

Amber98 · August 2017

I've just done my Alevels but I chose three sciences (bio,phy,chem)
Im planning on doing an AAT Level2 course.
Will it be difficult as I have no knowledge of accounting whatsoever?
Or is it like super easy ...stuff you can learn from books and free courses online..so I should just skip to level 3?

Level 2 is fine to self study, you'd probably get it done a lot faster than tutoring anyway. If you're competent at the sciences you'll have no problem with AAT L2. You can skip it if you want to save some money but I do feel for someone with no knowledge you're best studying it as it builds a good foundation.

Thanks for ur reply

So how long do you think it would take me to get up to level 4 if I were studying at a college?

I started straight at level 3, and felt it was enough of a base foundation, but everyone is differrent. I started my Level 3 in Sept 2013 and just finished my Level 4 exam this week. did mine via distance learning part time too, so 3 years isn't bad with a kid and trying to fit it all in between work and stuff. So i would look at around 12m for level 3 and 18m for level 4. but i would fully reccomend Kaplan supported distance learning.

I studied level 3 via college in evening lessons, level 3 was sept-july in line with term time, the college said I get summer off then level 4 is over 15 months, so a lot longer.
I've decided to study level 4 with distance learning.
Personally if you have no knowledge of accounts level 2 is best, it gives the foundation knowledge. But AAT have a skill test online to check your understanding or their helpline is really helpful!
