All the information you need to start you on your career as an Accounting Technician.

Accounting Technicians Ireland offer a professional qualification in just two years.

Further study

When you have passed all Accounting Technicians Ireland exams and obtained two years relevant work experience, you will have completed the Accounting Technicians Ireland qualification. In tandem, you also become a Full Member of the professional body which enables you to use the letters MIATI after your name. MIATI is a professional designation and one that is respected and sought after by employers.

Many who qualify as accounting technicians often choose to continue their studies and use their MIATI qualification as a stepping stone into other accountancy and business related areas. Many of our graduates progress to other accountancy bodies to study to become an accountant. These include our partner body Chartered Accountants Ireland, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CPA) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), all of who offer members of Accounting Technicians Ireland substantial exemptions. Other graduates will pursue studies with bodies like the Irish Payroll Association (IPASS) or the Irish Tax Institute.

Our Further Studies brochure lists the exemptions that are available to members of Accounting Technicians Ireland.  If the course you want to pursue is not listed please contact the relevant college for information on applying for exemptions.
