"Ruby chose to take the PBE during her undergraduate years. To me, this shows a great deal of not only dedication to the accounting field but also a dedication to self improvement. I have no doubt the PBE training helped her to attain the CPA qualification smoothly."- T/Dialogue October 2014

"Some candidates worry that they might not be able to get a job in the accounting field if they are not an accounting degree holder. However, I think soft skills are far more important. Anyone can build a successful accounting career regardless of how they acquire their professional qualifications."- T/Dialogue August 2014

"AAT graduates are a good fit for our environment: not only do they hold a solid grounding in different aspects of accounting, they are often good with time-management and are disciplined enough to face the multiple challenges we get each day." - T/Dialogue April 2014

His dedication and his willingness to start from the bottom and work his way up truly impressed me, and that was why I decided then to give him an opportunity to prove himself." - T/Dialogue April 2013

"A professional qualification is a benchmark of competence and is recognized as such by the industry. As an employer, I view having a professional qualification like AAT and relevant experience as equally important in considering whether a candidate is suitable for an accounting position." - AAT Express August 2012
