AAT or ICB - bookkeeping

[Jellybelly82227]

I’m late twenties and have worked in an office doing admin work since I left school. 7 years ago I decided I wanted to go down the bookkeeping route and done my level 1 and 2 in manual bookkeeping with IAB, I ended up getting pregnant and never even started level 3.

I now want to get back into it and start again. I have seen pros and cons for both AAT and ICB, can anyone let me know their experiences please?

I plan to work from home (if and when I get busy enough to leave my current job), and eventually go down the payroll route and do self assessments etc.

Thanks!

Have only done AAT but loved it. I get the feeling ICB offers more support for people actually wanting to go self employed?

I think they do, ICB also seem to offer more courses.

Thanks!
