How can you train to be an accountant while holding down a full time job? |
I don't have any qualifications in this field so it would be starting from scratch. Its hard work but I did it. I left school with nothing and then at 20 thought what a waste. I was just an assistant in an accouting office of a manufacturing firm & really fancied the job of the manager as it looked so interesting. So I applied to go to college to the AAt (Association of Accounting Technicians), this took 3 years, then I did the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) which took another 3 years, I did it all at night classes, which was generally 3 hrs, 2 nights a week. It was worth as now I can earn lots more money and there are lots of opportunity. Source(s): Chartered Certified Accountant Do what the rest of us do and join night school training or on-line training at home. Unless you work for an accountancy firm or in an accounting department, you can't. The AAT and ACCA (and other accountancy qualifications) are vocational training courses that require on-the-job training. If you have a degree (in any subject) you can apply for trainee accountant positions. Without a degree you'd have to start looking for Trainee Accounting Technician vacancies, or simply look for admin positions in an accountancy firm (as the answerer above did). careers adviser.
