The scheme

Firstly, a bit of background about the AAT. It was established in 1980 by two merging accountancy bodies: the Institute of Accounting Staff (IAS), and the Association of Technicians in Finance and Accounting (ATFA). Back then, it had 5,995 members and 19,405 students. Now, the AAT has more than 120,000 members and has expanded its qualifications and branch network into 90 countries.

For those who are ambitious, have excellent A level grades and want to gain a professional qualification as quickly as possible, we will hand you practical accounting skills and get you ready for the workplace. Our AAT vocational programme takes approximately two years to complete, you’ll receive a competitive salary whilst you train and you’ll receive a wide range of technical and personal skills training as you progress. Studying the AAT is typically undertaken by block release and as part of your programme, you’ll undertake computer based administered projects, tests, reports and work based evidence alongside gaining practical commercial experience with us. We’ll support you throughout with our expert knowledge and vast experience to get the AAT qualification firmly under your belt.
