Accounting - Your Prospects
11th June 2008 | Career PathsThis is a facsinating little article comparing the differences between going to university and not going to university in the Accounting world.
University isn’t for everyone and if you want to become a chartered accountant, taking the AAT Accounting Qualification could help you qualify more quickly and more cheaply than if you took a degree course.
The AAT Accounting Qualification is recognised by many accountancy bodies, which means you’ll get exemptions from the chartered accountancy qualifications they offer. No other accounting qualification in the UK provides this valuable head start.
