I have been working for around 11 years in a bookkeeping / admin role. I part completed my AAT a few years ago but didn't get round to finishing it due to family problems at the time. I am now keen to get a qualification to enable me to work on a self employed basis.
I understand that I can apply for membership by exemption with references from accountants. If, however, the ICB are not satisfied with the references (perhaps the work I do is not deemed as indepth as they would like), then can anyone confirm that the next step is to take the level III manual bookkeeping paper? I presume I won't have to take level 1 and 2 first? Or can I take the level 2 and still practice and get insurance / MLR etc.?
Thanks.
