You will be assigned an assessor who will mark the work you submit and provide feedback, support and guidance where required/requested.

Entry requirements

This qualification is aimed at those aged 19 (as at 31st August of the academic year) or above who enjoy working with figures and are literate and numerate. Please note this distance learning course is aimed at those who are confident with self-study and require minimum guidance and support and whilst you can study at a time and pace that suits your commitments there is an expectation to meet submission deadlines to ensure timely achievement.

If you have previous accountancy or finance experience you may wish to complete an online skill check at www.aatskillcheck.org/ to enable you to decide whether to start at Level 2 or Level 3. All applicants will be required to complete a short assessment form to ensure the correct level of study.
