The Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) is the professional body for Accounting Technicians and is sponsored by four UK Chartered Accountancy bodies. Whether you're about to take your first step on the ladder or think you can get more out of your career, the AAT will give you the knowledge and skills you need to go far and get the rewards you deserve. The aim of this course is to introduce you to basic financial accounting, cost accounting and computerised accounting to enable you to work effectively in accounting and finance. • Bookkeeping Transactions • Bookkeeping Controls • Elements of Costing • Using Accounting Software • Work Effectively in Finance • Foundation Certificate Synoptic Assessment Our Accounting qualifications are delivered in partnership with Mindful Education using an online and on-campus model. Your study will be blended, spending some time face-to-face in College and some time learning online. Online lessons can be accessed at any time, using a mobile, tablet or desktop – allowing you to fit your study around work and life commitments. Each lesson lasts around 45 minutes and can be re-visited as often as you need. Lessons are accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life, and exercises and interactive case studies help to enhance the learning experience further. On campus, you will benefit from face-to-face classes (or virtual classroom sessions) at your local partner college with an experienced tutor. A combination of tutor-led lessons, group exercises and discussion help you apply theory to real-life workplace situations. Note regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19): Due to the nature of our Online and On-Campus courses, with key concepts being taught online through high-quality video lectures, students are able to continue their studies seamlessly with social distancing in place or if the college has to close. Regular ‘On Campus’ lessons are replaced by remote ‘virtual classroom’ sessions led by college tutors. This flexible approach can be easily adapted to suit government guidance and college policies. This course requires a substantial commitment of time outside of onsite classroom time and you should be prepared to spend approximately 4-5 hours per week on your studies at home, including the time you spend on Mindful resources.
Grade C in Maths or equivalent and an interview with the course tutor.
All of the units within the qualification are mandatory. Four units are assessed individually in end-of-unit assessments, but this qualification also includes a synoptic assessment that students sat towards the end of the qualification. The synoptic assessment draws on and assesses knowledge and understanding from across the qualification.
