AAT is a practical, industry-focused qualification within which you will learn how to manage finances, budgets and cash flow effectively playing a key role in business growth. With AAT on your CV, you demonstrate a level of excellence and work-readiness sought after by employers across all sectors and industries. Students who achieve this qualification can access higher AAT qualifications as part of apprenticeships or professional accounting qualifications after degree level study. As a requirement of the qualification students will complete a work placement in an accounting firm or department. The course will further provide students with opportunities to engage with businesses throughout each unit of study, with real-world, business specific examples used to develop skills and understanding.

Sixth Form work is demanding, and students are expected to take increased responsibility for their own learning, ensuring they are fully prepared to pass each assessment. AAT is a professional qualification, relevant to current accounting practices. Students are therefore expected to take a wider interest in business affairs to support their progression. Students are expected to engage with their work placements in a professional manner.
