About AAT

The Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) is one of the UK's leading professional accountancy bodies, with more than 120,000 students and members in 90 countries worldwide. To find out more visit www.aat.org.uk or call the AAT on 0845 863 0800.

The AAT Accounting Qualification is designed to give students the practical skills they need in the workplace and once qualified you can typically earn 15% more than unqualified staff. And as a qualified AAT you can fast track into either the ACCA or ICAEW qualification if you wish to develop your career in accountancy.

The AAT qualification is made up of three levels, each of which is a qualification in is own right:

Level 2 Certificate in Accounting (equivalent to GCSE standard)
Level 3 Diploma in Accounting (equivalent to A Level standard)
Level 4 Diploma in Accounting (equivalent to first year of a degree)

Each level comprises a number of papers which are assessed by computer based exam or project. Find out more about exams and assessments.

To become fully AAT qualified you must complete Level 4. Most students complete the qualification in 2-3 years, but it is possible complete it in just one year - it really depends on where you start, how you study and how quickly you progress through the exams. One of our home study students completed all seven Level 3 exams in just 19 days!
