AMCT Treasury Qualification

cmac2009

Not sure if this is the best forum, but has anyone completed this qualification? If so how did you find the work load and exams? Don't have an accountancy qualification but have a business degree and currently working in treasury. Looking at some way to extend my knowledge and job prospects in this area. Thanks

interested in this myself.....I see they've changed the syllabus lately.

Also find it to be extremely expensive :eek: ...hoping my company might put me through it....but no luck yet

Yes it's very expensive so trying to find out is it really worth it. £1,300 per semester is quite a lot more than other qualifications.

I don't think they have changed the course yet, if you sign up to start this April then you will doing the same as pervious years. It changes from October onwards. So wondering as we'll is better wait until then to start

I completed the AMCT qualification in 2006/2007. I'm a chartered accountant so had quite a few exemptions and only had 2 modules to complete. I sat these 2 exams together. There was quite a bit of work involved and failed one module (first time I'd ever failed an exam!!) but repeated it 6 months later and passed.

It's a pretty good qualification to have if you intend staying in treasury. It is often something that recruiters pick up on on my linked in profile and I am still often approached about treasury roles despite not working in the area since 2008.

I would push for your employer to pay/contribute towards the fees and for them to give you some sort of study leave. I'm sure it would mean that you're tied to them for a number of years which you may not want.

Best of luck with your decision.
