Oh and you might find ways of doing the course with work experience, that option was open to me but I already had a finance related job so didn’t need to.
And if you then want to go on to full accountancy professional exams, you get quite a few exemptions from the first set of exams I think. That's next for me, new job will provide study support as well!

Is that a career switch or were you already working in accounting? I'm considering a career switch because there's nearly no chance of any career progression in with my current organisation and the pay is shit. One of the things I've been looking at is accounting but not sure what the best route into it is with no direct experience or qualifications related to it. I got into an entry level role in Canada with nothing but customer service experience doing credit control and accounts payable mostly. When I came home then I was getting similar roles but the salary is a bit shit them so I’ve been studying in the evenings the past 2 years for an accounting technician diploma. Recently qualified and think the qualification coupled with experience just opened up a lot more options. Accounting technician is a good way in I think, gives you really good skills and you would get to a bookkeeper/main finance person level for smaller companies anyway. Not sure how flexible the study is in GB but I could do it 2 nights a week for 2 years here. www.aat.org.uk/Yeah I've been looking at the AAT site and following its questionnaire it's recommended I do the foundation certificate in acounting (level 2) which it seems to think will open up some early basic opportunities. I see a few graduate training jobs around as well that doesn't require a specific degree and will help you toward qualifications whilst working. Probbaly in my best interest to begin a qualification from AAT regardless though to gain some knowledge and bulk my CV in that area. I can't leave my current job until February/March anyway so gives me time to get started.

That's definitely an exaggeration.
We were never cool.

Right so apparently travelling to another country to work for three weeks on your own with crippling anxiety is actually quite tough, who'd have thought?

Well when you’re struggling, remember, at least it’s not Northampton.

Got a phone interview at 10am for Santander and I’d really rather not. Face to face interviews I’m fine with but I’ve never done a phone interview in my life.

Good luck! Most of the Qs are online, have notes ready, and I dunno if you'll benefit the same but I'll usually have a pen ready to scribble blindly on a nearby sheet of paper (or occassionally, my lap) when doing anything remotely anxiety inducing

Cheers!
Passed it, have an assessment day tomorrow and I’m nervous about how quick this is moving along. Thought I’d fucked it when she asked me to give an example of managing a data protection breach and I thought shit I give people Big Macs I don’t ask for their home address.
