I will be resitting PEV in Dec but was thinking of ordering the first 3 ACCA courses so that I can start early for June 2006 exams (in the hope that I pass PEV next time round and can gon on to ACCA then. What do you think? Am I tempting fete?

    Hi.<BR><BR>Wait until you have passed AAT then you can claim full exemptions.<BR><BR>Scott.

    Sorry, I think you misunderstand me. I was going to start studying ACCA for June 2006, finish AAT in Dec (hopefully) and claim the exemptions so that next summer I can do 2.1, 2.2 & 2.3 ACCA.

    I think you have misunderstood me.<BR><BR>You cannot claim exemptions and start Stage 2 without fully completing AAT Technician.<BR><BR>Scott.

    I dont intend registering with ACCA until passing AAT, just ordering some texts and start studying early.

    I am in the same position as you. <BR><BR>I failed PEV, but passed the PCR and DFS. This means you can't get full exemption from Level 1 of ACCA. <BR>But this does not stop you from registering and starting to study for 2006 exams as I have already done.<BR>Exemptions cost £40 per paper (3 papers at level 1). = £120<BR><BR>More importantly - Did you know that when you have passed Technician, you gain direct entry to CAT status!!<BR>(Also Cat status costs £140, but if you apply for this at the same time as your Level 1 exemptions, you don't have to pay for the latter - £120)<BR><BR>I chose ACCA Professional Scheme because the numerical side of accounts sounded better than the management orientated CIMA (which bores the hell out of me). And because of this additional qualification.<BR><BR>Hope all this helps<BR>Debbi<BR><BR>

    Incidentally, do you have any other qualifications?<BR><BR>I found out that my BTEC HNC in Business and Finance from years ago exempts me from Level 1 as well.<BR><BR>But guess what, the PEV re-sit and the Paper 2.1 exam are on the same bleeping morning!!!! <BR>So I couldn't sit it anyway. I just can't believe it!!!<BR><BR>

    Thanks Debbie, I didn't know about the CAT status. I have a BA(Hons) degress in Business Studies & Geography. Not much finance in it though, so I don't know if it will give me any exemptions.

    I spoke to a nice fella called Ross Wyper on their Glasgow office. He was very helpful about exemptions
