Our Foundation & Advanced and Advanced & Professional combined courses are ideal if you'd like to save money and move seamlessly from one qualification to the next.
The Foundation Certificate is perfect if you have no accounting experience or if you haven’t mastered essential skills like double-entry bookkeeping. Most students start at Foundation level, even if they have some accounting experience.
The Advanced Diploma is for you if you have significant practical accounting experience and a firm grasp of all the topics covered at Foundation level.
The Professional Diploma could be ideal if you understand everything covered at Foundation and Advanced level and are fully competent in double-entry bookkeeping. Students rarely enrol directly onto the Professional Diploma without completing Foundation/Advanced or a similar practical accounting qualification first.
Our AAT course guides include a detailed breakdown of the topics covered on each course.
AAT graduates are in high demand by employers for their practical, hands-on accounting skills.
After completing the Foundation Certificate, you can take on entry-level roles such as:
