We require AAT trainees (Association of Accounting Technicians) to have 8 GCSEs including Grade A in Maths and English and 3 A Levels Grade B (300 UCAS points).

To become a member of the AAT you have to complete the Education and Training Scheme, which has three stages: foundation, intermediate and technician.  Each stage can be achieved in six months, though some students may prefer to study over a longer period. The three stages are accredited by the National Council for Vocational Qualifications (NCVQ) as National Vocational Qualifications in Accounting.

The scheme focuses on what you should be able to do in order to be considered competent at your job. These tasks are written down in units of competence and are tested by assessments of which there are two types: skills tests and examinations.

In addition to the above training, some in-house practical training will also be provided to complement your professional studies.
