Congratulations to all students who have just sat their ATI year 2 exams. Your hard work will hopefully have paid off and come June you will be a newly qualified Accounting Technician. Some of you may take a well deserved break from your studies, but for those of you who wish to keep the momentum going StudyOnline.ie has a number of further study options available to you.
Professional Accountancy…
To become a fully qualified professional accountant you should complete further studies with one of the prescribed accountancy bodies like CPA Ireland or ACCA Ireland. These two accounting institutes regulate their members, set accountancy exams and monitor your work experience.
In addition, a combination of further studies and work experience is required for you to become a fully qualified professional accountant. The benefits are numerous including a significant increase in salary. Qualified accountants have an average salary of €40,000 in Dublin according to the latest Morgan McKinley Salary Survey. With demand for qualified accountants remaining high globally, the world really is your oyster.
Exemptions…
Accounting Technicians are entitled to exemptions from ACCA and CPA Ireland examinations. This means that you will have a shorter journey ahead of you with less exams to take. When you are deciding on which route to go exemptions are often a key factor as it can mean a shorter pathway to becoming an accountant.
Options…
StudyOnline.ie offers both CPA Ireland and ACCA subjects. Our lectures are available in HD and fully supported by our subject matter experts. You can begin your studies immediately and take an exam during the summer (CPA – August, ACCA – September). We have had numerous prizewinners which is a testament to the high level of support and expertise of our lecturing team.
