What You Will Study

Want to become an accountant or work in a finance role? The AAT Accounting qualification is your route to an exciting professional career.

Whether you want to start earning straight away, go on to chartered studies, or set up your own practice, the career options are endless. The AAT diploma delivers a high level of practical skills, knowledge and effective performance in the workplace and gives progression to AAT full membership and the UK chartered accountancy qualifications.

The AAT's diploma pathway is competence-based and does not have the workplace evidence requirement of NVQ programmes. It is streamlined and flexible and includes a new Professional Ethics for Accounting Technicians unit; a market-leading innovation much valued by employers.

Topics you will cover include:

• Drafting financial statements
• Management accounting;
• Managing systems and people in the accounting environment
• Professional ethics for accounting technicians

You will also study two of the following three units:

• Implementing auditing procedures
• Preparing business taxation computations
• Preparing personal taxation computations

This one-year programme will run on Thursdays on 9am to 3.30pm.
