The Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) is a professional membership body for accounting personnel who award skills-based accountancy qualifications. It is sponsored by the five major professional accountancy bodies in the UK.

  • Tangible evidence of your accounting and finance skills
  • Your understanding of the latest accounting techniques and their application to the business environment
  • Your continuing professional development

The Level 4 Diploma in Professional Accounting is a five-module programme (comprising 3 mandatory modules and 2 optional modules) and is expected to be completed between one year and 18 months.
