Five steps to getting started with AAT
Accountancy is one of the most interesting and varied professions in the world and, whether you’re new to it all or already working in finance or accountancy, AAT gives you the practical skills and confidence to boost your job satisfaction and earning potential.
Step one - discover more about the AAT Accounting Qualification
Order your free AAT information pack and spend some time understanding what’s covered in the qualification, how long it takes to qualify, and how much it costs. But don’t just take our word for it, why not see and hear from some of our success stories?
You don’t need previous qualifications to study AAT, but if you already have these or some experience of working within accounts or finance, you could start at a higher level. Take our quick and free online test, AAT Skillcheck, for guidance on the best starting level for you.
Step two - select your training provider
You can study for AAT full-time, part-time, from home and online, and training is delivered through one of our 460 AAT approved training providers.
We recommend searching for a training provider near you online, shortlisting a few that offer your preferred way of learning, and contacting them. AAT approved training providers are always happy to advise you without obligation, so feel free to ask about the course before you register.
If you’ve taken AAT Skillcheck, you can take your results along to the training provider and ask their advice on a starting level.
Step three - register as an AAT student member
To start your training, you’ll need to register with us as an AAT student member. Join a network of 120,000 members and benefit from the wealth of our study support, job-hunting advice, exclusive discounts and networking opportunities.
You’ll need to be a registered AAT member to sit AAT assessments. Register as a AAT student member.
Step four - qualify and realise your potential
After two to three years of practical training and diligent study, you’ll have achieved a recognised, professional and practical qualification; a worthy addition to your CV.
This means your immediate earning potential will be higher, and you can go on to chartered accountancy, or gain UCAS points for university.
Step five - progress to MAAT status
Once you’ve qualified and built up your work experience, you can apply for AAT professional membership - a respected sign of accounting excellence and, with the letters MAAT after your name, a great way to stand out from the crowd.
MAAT status is also your first step towards running your own accountancy practice, and you may qualify for exemptions to study chartered accountancy or a degree.
