Answer 1 :
AAT level 2 or the foundation stage is the starting point, however before you go with ICS why not consider speaking to your local college. The reason for this is AAT foundation is a level 2 qualification, if you do not have any level 2 quals, you may find that the government will fund the course, most colleges run AAT classes on a part time basis (evening classes) to fit in with students jobs. Once you have achieved the foundation certificate, start looking for work as an accounts assistant/purchase/sales ledger clerk. Hopefully if you secure a position the employer normally funds AAT training. The intermediate level is the equivalent to 2 A levels and the final Technician stage is what you want to be aiming for. The whole 3 levels are achievable in 2 years which is what I did, then you can become a full member of the AAT and are entitled to use the designatory letters MAAT after your name. From here you could go onto further study with CIPFA, CIMA or ACCA, they will all grant you generous exemptions from the first stage and in as little as 2 years further study you could qualify as a chartered/certified accountant. If you decide to stay at AAT qualified level you could still secure a senior accounts position and (depending on where you live) could earn anything between 20-30K per year! Hope that helps and good luck with your studies!
