Credit transfers for ACCA

Re: Credit transfers for ACCA
Hi Janice
Can I ask who did you get your assessment for immigration?
Reason I am asking is that I am getting mine done in a couple of weeks time and I was checking NIA's website. They are offering full membership on successful assessment. Now what I heard is NIA is not on the same level as ICAA or CPAA in Australia but at least you get a local qualification and better chance of a job. You can then move on from there as you see fit.
So why not try contacting them?... or if not CPAA or ICAA to get some kind of associate (entry level) membership to get yourself going!!
Hope this helps..
P.S I am starting a new post since I am starting out on my immigration case now so will be asking lots of questions!! ..

Re: Credit transfers for ACCA
Does anyone know how one would go about undertaking ICAA modules (I'm FCCA currently in Ireland and therefore only need to complete the Tax and Law modules from an academic standpoint, obviously I think I would also need certified experience over there to get full membership.
Is it possible to buy the textbooks or other distance learning materials from overseas and are there any international exam centres?
Many thanks
John

Oh Ok, thanks for that info...when I got my migration assessment done, they only mentioned the tax and law papers?

I am thinking about registering with University of South Queensland..I think the course number is Law 5219.
However there are other universities also providing bridging course for overseas trained accountants..a link to the accredited courses should be on ICAA/CPA websites.
Hope this helps

Re: Credit transfers for ACCA
Sorry to bust your bubble but having the NIA qualification is not exactly going to help you much in your job search. You'll be surprised but a fair number of people including many recruitment consultants and employers don't know and never seemed to have heard of NIA and among those who know about it, they tend to ask with a glee on their faces, now what made you do NIA? NIA started with giving entry to TAFE students and though it has made its standards more demanding by introducing the requirement of having a degree and 3 years of mentored work experience to get the PNA designation and trying all it could to be at par with Oz CPA and CA, it is still perceived as diploma level by many. Ideally, to ensure a good career, one is better off going for OZ CPA or CA. However I quite like some of the CPD courses that they conduct. They are rather good to attend. That is the only advantage I see with being the member of NIA.
