    Nope!<BR><BR>You will be an Accounting Technician (but call yourself whatever you fancy!!)<BR><BR>Have to study for another 3-4 years to become an Accountant, its a whole other qualification that is meant to be ten times harder than AAT!<BR><BR>Good Luck<BR><BR>

    I thought further study - CIMA or ACCA was approx 2 years.<BR><BR>I am going to go on (which one i don't know) but have allowed 3 years for it - otherwise i'm giving up.

    If it was two years I would do it myself!!<BR><BR>I think you get excemptions from foundation CIMA but have been put off a little as a few people that I know (who are very bright) have failed the Intermediate exams (first 2) twice in a row so are no better off than me but have been studying hard for over a year - just seems like a waste of life!!<BR><BR>

    I'm going on to do ACCA, more fool me. Yes you can do it in 2 years but 3 years (or more) is probably more realistic and a bit easier on yourself. I believe that at the moment with full AAT qualification you are exempt from level 1 of ACCA. <BR>and yes, it is supposed to be much harder than AAT.<BR><BR>Well one day it will be worth it!<BR><BR>I for one am going to have a good well-earned rest for now.<BR><BR>
