Fast-track to chartered accountancy

AAT is a fast-track, non-graduate route into chartered accountancy. In fact, it's the only professional qualification that allows students to progress on to chartered status.
AAT is sponsored by the professional accounting bodies CIPFA, ICAEW, CIMA and ICAS, and all the UK chartered and certified accountancy bodies recognise the AAT Accounting Qualification and offer AAT members generous exemptions.
AAT members who choose this route can become chartered much faster than if they had gone to university. And one in twelve chartered accountants started off studying AAT. Find out more about these exemptions:
