I am due to book the exam and was just wondering if anyone who had already sat it could give me some pointers as to what to expect. I've read that they send papers out to you in the post, you do it at home then send them back? Could you use the practise data on Sage to complete the exam? I'm working my way through...

I've been looking at the AAT syllabus at Level 2 - looks fairly straightforward. I thought if I spent the next 4 - 6 weeks studying on my own I'd be ready to start studying Level 3 in September. Am I underestimating the amount of work involved? It seems that Level 2 is aimed at school leavers. I'm much, much...

Eveving all, My other half has been told today that she will be made redundant and she has suprised me by saying she likes the idea of starting a payroll bureau as she is involved in some HR aspects in her current role. This would fit in nicely with my current business and it is something that I could push mo...

Hi there, I am currently MAAT and AICB (almost MICB). I am really confused as to what qualification to aim for next ATT, ACCA or CIMA.

I completed Level 2 AAT in 2008. Found out I was pregnant a few months into it and my due date was 4 days before my exam. Due to having my son and going back to work I only did my Level 3 in 2011. As I was then working full time and had 2 young children I put off level 4 until this year as I know its a stressful level. M...

Just catching up with the TV programme Silk on iPlayer. Totally hooked and got me thinking I'd like to re-train in law. Probably not realistic being in my early 40's but may check out an open uni degree in law. I think I'd enjoy the challenge of studying again, and I guess what I learn would be helpful for m...

Hi, I had a meeting with a business manager this morning. He said he has `an old school attitude` and he'd never employ somebody who has studied a course fast track. He said as far as he's concerned they know how to pass exams, but not necessarily how to do the job. I was quite surprised but I do recal...
