Course information
The AAT does not set any prerequisites for the study of the Foundation Certificate in Accounting. However, for the best chance of success we recommend that students have a good standard of English and maths (GCSE level 4 & above). An initial assessment is required and you will need to demonstrate a genuine interest in the subject.
Students starting a level 2 or level 3 qualification after 1 September will pay a one off registration fee which provides access to the qualification for as long as it takes them to achieve it. The registration fee for this course is £172.
The skills developed by studying this qualification will give you a solid base from which to seek employment with confidence, and/or to progress to the next level of learning. You may wish to progress onto the AAT Advanced Diploma in Accouting or other business and accounting qualifications.
Please note fees are quoted for one year only.
