On 22 June 2023 I was told that I passed my Trust and Estate Accounting: England & Wales exam which I sat in May. That was my second Advanced Certificate (the first one being Trust and Estate Taxation) that I passed which meant I was eligible to become an Associate.
Well, I promptly sent off my form to upgrade my membership which was granted on Friday. I am now officially a STEP Associate.
Next stop is TEP (after two more exams)!
