This AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) course is an entry-level accounting qualification, ideal for anyone who is seeking an introduction to basic accounting principles and skills. This flexible course is delivered in partnership with Mindful Education and combines online learning with face-to-face lessons in the classroom. On successful completion of this course, you might be eligible for a fully funded Level 3 course. Please see information on the progression below. This qualification will prepare you for junior and entry-level accounting roles. It delivers a solid foundation in finance administration – covering areas such as double-entry bookkeeping to basic costing principles and using accounting software. On successful completion of this course, you will be awarded an AAT Level 2 Foundation Certificate in Accounting. This internationally recognised AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) qualification enables those working in accounting or those who looking to pursue accountancy as a career to gain knowledge, practical experience and the all-important certification often sought by employers.
AAT does not set any entry requirements for this qualification. However, for the best chance of success, it is recommended that students begin their studies with a good standard of English and maths. Previous knowledge of accounting or a Level 1 Bookkeeping qualification would be advantageous but not essential. Prior to being invited to interview you will be asked to complete the AAT Skills check which will identify the correct entry point for you to commence your AAT studies.
We have partnered with Mindful Education to deliver this course through our flexible Online and On Campus model. Online, you will study award-winning video lessons, which are available on demand, and can be viewed from your phone, tablet or computer, meaning you can choose how, when and where you want to study. Lessons last for around 45 minutes and are accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life. Practice questions, downloadable lesson materials and interactive case studies help to enhance the learning experience further and learners should expect to spend around 4-5 hours studying independently online each week. On campus, you benefit from regular classes with a college tutor, without having to commit to attending multiple evenings each week. Your tutor will review what you have learnt during your online lessons and will be on hand to provide guidance on progress and assessment. Regular discussion with classmates will help to reinforce key points while also providing the additional support and motivation that comes from being part of a group. AAT Assessments against the standards of competence takes place through either a computer-based test, marked online by the computer, or computer-based assessment, marked externally. The exams are set and marked by AAT as the Awarding Body of the qualification. All computer-based exams will take place following the delivery of each unit of study and are scheduled normally on a Friday. Sittings are usually scheduled 9.30am – 12 noon and 1pm – 3pm. The exam timetable will be provided upon commencement of the course and attendance to scheduled exam sittings is a mandatory requirement.
