CPD - CIMA Studying

2009-01-02T10:14:30+00:00

Has anybody else used their CIMA studying as CPD?

Reading through the AAT website I notice if you are studying CIMA you can list this studying to cover as suitable CPD.

However, what exactly needs to be listed? Is it enough to simply list the units you are studying, why and how you are studying them and when you hope to pass or does there need to be more detail as in what specific items each section of each unit covers?

Anyone else having problems with the AAT website?

I tried to send them an email and it was returned as a failure. When I tried to open the webpage it didn’t seem to be opening. Obviously the upgrades weren’t all they were cracked up to be.

Anyone had luck with finding a Job ?

I’m at currently at college doing the foundation/intermediate parts. I just wondered if you qualified guys and gals have had much luck securing a job ?. Also what kind of money could I expect once I’ve done the technician level (need to pass the other two first ) ?

Thanks,

Is AAT as appreciated and recognised as you would have hoped?

2008-10-01T14:56:05+00:00

Just wondering if anyone else is feeling the same? I decided a couple of years ago to make a change and start studying accounts. I wanted to get good grounding and a through knowledge before attempting acca/aca/cima etc so I chose to do AAT.

Now having completed my foundation and having started my intermediate I am finding it is not quite as respected and appreciated as i first thought?

I am finding that when I apply for entry level jobs and mention AAT the general reaction seems to be im not unique and it isn’t a big deal at all.

Hello and help!

2008-09-22T17:21:53+00:00

Hi guys,

I’m new to the forum and like so many people before me i’m sure, I start we a plea for help.
I’ve just started studying for my intermetiate AAT and two weeks in we don’t have books yet. I’m just working out some efficiency percentages, and suddenly I vaigly remember the tutor saying there was something you had to do if you got a percentage that was over 100. I’ve checked all my notes and I can’t find anything, Can anyone tell me what the something is that I need to do? or did I imagine it?

Thanks in advance I hope

Switching Learning Providers

2008-09-14T18:28:04+00:00

I am very unhappy with the learning provider I am currently with, the level of service is pretty appalling. I wish to change providers but I’m not sure the best way to do this and I’m unsure whether you can have a overlap with providers while changing.

I haven’t finsihed Unit 31, I am about to sit the simulation, but would like to start the next level as soon as I have sat it, but this would mean I would technically be with two learning providers. Am I seeing a problem where there isn’t one?

ATT Course provider

2008-08-20T16:21:44+00:00

Hi there I am a brand new member pf this forum and was hoping to get some advise regarding ATT.

I am due to take my final AAT exams in December and (providing I pass!) am hoping to begin studying ATT next year as I so enjoyed the two tax modules I’ve just done - sad aren’t I!!! Can anyone recommend a distance learning company who do ATT and any ideas if you pay a one off fee for the four modules or can you buy them seperately?

Also I am considering doing the inheritance tax module as my option. As well as being employed I also run a small company specialising in sole traders accounts, self assessment, bookkeeping and payroll. The AAT have told me I should have no problem in obtaining a licence when I am qualified - they have seen my work experience - and I thought this option was the best one to choose as I have no experience in business tax (Ltd Co’s) otherwise I would have chosen the Business taxation higher skills module. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this module would be the best one for me ?

Any info regarding courses etc would be greatly appreciated.
