Exempt from Foundation ?
Permalink Closed

Hi all

I did ICB (Institute of Certified Bookkeepers) levels 1&2 some time ago and am now thinking about going to college for AAT. I have heard that because I have done the ICB stuff which is essentially the same as the AAT foundation; I would be exempt and be able to go straight onto AAT intermediate.

Is this true?

Thanks

Yes that is true I had done a GCSE in bookkeeping about 10 years prior to starting AAT and I was exempt from the foundation, I started at the intermediate level and had no trouble picking up from there.

From memory, I don't think "exemption" is required for the AAT Foundation level.

There used to be an online test they had to see which level was recommended to start at, either Foundation or Intermediate but it was pretty much left up to the student which was a better start.
