AATINTRODUCTIONThe Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) is a professional body for Accounting Technicians, with more than 100,000 students, full and fellow members worldwide. Formed in 1980, it is sponsored by 4 of the major accountancy bodies in the UK:- CIPFA, ICAEW, CIMA and ICAS. Accounting Technicians work in accounting and finance alongside other accountants in commerce, industry, and practice, as well as in public and voluntary sectors. Typical careers range from account clerks to credit controllers to finance managers. Some are self-employed. The AAT is unique in that it is the only specialist awarding body for National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) in accounting. The AAT awards NVQs/SVQs (Scottish Vocational Qualifications) in Accounting at Levels 2, 3 and 4 – also known as Foundation, Intermediate and Technician Stages of the AAT’s Education and Training Scheme. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS There are no minimum entry requirements for the AAT’s Education and Training Scheme, although students are expected to have a good command of English and an interest in Mathematics. Students with no background or experience in accountancy are advised to commence their studies at the Foundation Level. The AAT will recognise a limited number of alternative routes to membership, so that some students will not need to complete all 3 stages of the scheme. There is a Mature Students’ route directly to the Intermediate level – please contact the AAT for full details. A minimum number of units have to be completed, and the student will be awarded a certificate on reaching a level of competence in each stage or for individual units (the AAT will charge a small fee). The scheme is flexible and examined by a series of Central Assessments and Skills Tests. AAT CONTACT Students must register with the AAT, who can provide further details on registration, exam entry, exam syllabi, exemptions and membership. Students will be required to construct a portfolio, detailed guidance of which is provided by the AAT on registration. | |
