AAT

AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians)

The AAT qualification is for anyone working in Financial Services, Professional Services, Commerce and Public Sector. The qualification is a combination of practical experience and exams and offers flexible ways of completing the course such as distance learning, evening classes or days out of the office.

Students are assessed through a combination of formal exams and skills tests. The skills tests assess your ability in carrying out practical activities and test how you operate in the workplace, possibly including evidence of skills previously gathered.

The scheme has three stages:

Foundation - NVQ/SVQ in Accounting, level 2
Intermediate - NVQ/SVQ in Accounting, level 3
Technician - NVQ/SVQ in Accounting, level 4

Each level represents a qualification in its own right, and a certificate will be awarded for each level completed.
