    What sort of commitment do you want to give - months or years?

    What is the goal of this - something to do or career advancement?

    Do you want distance learning or classes?

    If you want to do something related to accounting I would suggest starting ACCA or CIMA. It is a long slog but it should be worth it.

    Hi,

    You try something like the Accounting Technician course. It's classroom based and is two years. I did it a couple of years ago, gives you a good base for accounting. I'm going on to do a Degree course this year which is only a year long as I've done IATI course already.

    Here's a link to their site.

    hi, I have been studying for professional exams with the ICAI, but after being unsuccessful with exams, I am wondering would it be beneficial to do the Accounting Technician course? I want to stay in this line of work but don't think the full exams are for me! Any advice?
