The AAT Accounting Qualification is unique because it provides you with theoretical knowledge and practical accounting skills.

AAT is preferred by students because you can apply irrespective of your age, experience or previous qualifications - and you can study full time, part time or at home.

The qualification is widely respected and often preferred by employers like Rolls-Royce, the NHS and Pricewaterhousecoopers because AAT qualified staff have hands-on experience in doing the job. This is why AAT qualified staff can earn up to 15% more than their unqualified colleagues*.

AAT is a fast-track, non-graduate route into charted accountancy. People who choose this route can become chartered much faster than if they had gone to university. And one in 12 chartered accountants now qualifies via this route.

On gaining the AAT qualification you can also become a full member of the AAT and use the letters MAAT after your name, providing a huge boost to your career prospects. Many AAT full members go on to very senior levels at work and over 1,500 now run their own accountancy businesses.
