Hi <BR><BR>I am just trying to decide what units to do for my technician. I want to go on to CIMA after I have completed AAT and obviously want to get the first year exemption. I have been told that you have to have the audit unit or you don't get the CIMA foundation exemption. Does anyone know if this is correct or not?<BR><BR>Thanks<BR>Rachel

    CIMA Exemption

    Hi Rachel,<BR><BR>No you do not need the Audit unit, I have just completed the AAT qualification (not including the audit unit) and have just been awarded exemptions from all five of the foundation CIMA papers<BR><BR>Hope this helps and well done<BR><BR>Lisa

    CIMA Exemption

    I have just completed my Technician level, I did not do the auditing unit, or the credit control unit (i did personal tax and business tax instead), and I have just been granted full exemption from the first year of CIMA<BR>So you should not have any problems. <BR>I had heard a similar rumour, and also about ACCA exemptions, but it does not seem to be true!<BR><BR>Good Luck with your studies

    CIMA Exemption

    Thanks for your help. Someone at college heard about a guy who completed AAT, applied to get exemption from CIMA but couldn't as he didn't have the audit option. Must have been a bit of chinese whispers going on!<BR><BR>Congratulations to you both for completing. Can't believe I'm about to start technician. When I started 2 years ago this point seemed like an age away, can't believe how quickly it's come round!

    CIMA Exemption

    HI<BR>I was in exectly the same situation when I started my AAT 2 years ago. Now I am fully qualified and already got the examption from first five papers from CIMA. Although I have done Auditing as well, but it was not required for examption purpose. Good luck for your study.
