Accounting by night

    I want to move into Accounting and am looking into night courses. But with all the acronyms - ACCA, CIMA etc, I'm not sure as to which direction to follow. Is there much of a difference between all of them or has anyone got any opinions as to which are better or worse or what the career options are for the various streams?
    Any info would be appreciated as it's a bit of a confusing area.

    lots of difference!

    where to you hope to practice?
    Chartered or certified?


    ICAI is prob the most highly regarded here
    ACCA is th eother chartered option

    IATI and ACA and CIMA are the other options.

    It all depends on how many years you want to put in and what you want at the end of it.

    I just finished my 1st year part time Accounting course in May

    Doing it through the IATI ... my boss suggested that I first do an Accounting Technician course and add on after that

    The one I did was in Carlow and it was great ... but I was lucky enough to be working at the same time and putting what I was learning into practice

    did the same course as Carebear but as night classes in Kilkenny, have still to sit one exam next week, stupid Business Management, stupid course, really aweful tutor.

    apparently 2nd yr is more difficult , we'll see I guess .

    (half thinking of postponing bus management exam til next yr and going ahead with the "root" syllabus, but probably a crazy idea)
