To think I can do Level 4 AAT without tutor support

[howdoyoudecide]

I am shamelessly posting here for traffic!

I am in the middle of level 3. Tutor
Support etc in the package. I haven’t needed to use her once. I am averaging 96% in assessments. I am a bit annoyed at myself using my learning credits from current job for Level 3 as I really could have done a basic course and saved my credits.

Would I be crazy to attempt level 4 on a basic package of basically just be work books?

For background I have a degree and a masters but neither are related to accountancy and I work in a demanding challenging job that doesn’t involve any accountancy either.

Was also contemplating skipping level 4 and diving straight into CIMA.

Really not sure what would be he most cost effective and efficient way of going about this. I have two lots of £2000 to spend on educational courses/qualifications. want to use one for a project management course.

Would appreciate any advice !

My employer funded it luckily and I really enjoyed the course. It was a good mix of financial and business learning which really interested me. I worked within manufacturing so CIMA was better suited to my career path. I completed it within 2.5 years (AAT exempted me from CIMA certificate level) but this was pre-kids.
I wouldn't do ACCA unless you are going into practice. However, I agree with Ginermog that ACA is an excellent qualification too. It's very well thought of by employers in industry and practice and more prestigious than CIMA or ACCA.

'@OneInAMillionYou ' —you clearly remember Monty Python For the record, I'm a chartered accountant and, with my serious head on, it's a great career. ACA, ACCA, CIMA—all very well respected qualifications; pick the one that suits your career aspirations, OP.

Good luck
