The Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) is a well-respected and recognised qualification within the accounting profession. It is recognised as a major qualification for Technician level accounting staff. Students who gain their Advanced and Professional Diplomas and who have relevant accounting work experience can apply for membership of the AAT and will normally get exam exemptions from the Chartered Accounting Bodies.

Wakefield Evening Course will be carried out using a blended approach which consists of both face to face teaching and self study. 

This qualification delivers a solid foundation in finance administration and core accounting skills, including double-entry bookkeeping, basic costing and an understanding of purchase, sales and general ledgers.

Students will also learn about accountancy related business and personal skills and be introduced to the four key themes embedded in the qualification: ethics, technology, communications and sustainability.

The course consists of four units:

• Introduction to Bookkeeping
• Principles of Bookkeeping
• Principles of Costing
• The Business Environment (this will be assessed within the synoptic exam taken at the end of the course)

GCSEs at Grade 9-4, including English and Maths.

OR

Level 2 Functional Skills in Maths and English.

You will be required to attend sessions dependant on the study method chosen.

All students are required to register with AAT upon enrolment. The fee for this is payable directly to AAT. Textbooks will be required to support studies.

Students may progress through the AAT levels, then to further Accounting qualifications with one of the chartered bodies.

The AAT has close links with various accountancy bodies and exemptions may be available if you choose to complete the Advanced and Professional Diplomas in order to progress to Chartered level.
