Accountancy Apprenticeships 

Enable new and existing employees to gain their accountancy qualifications with our AAT programmes, delivered as apprenticeships.

 

Flexible AAT programmes without compromising quality

Our AAT programmes are delivered through blended learning, with training both in the workplace and on campus. Our AAT apprenticeship programmes provide the highest quality training for your staff in a way that suits your business. Our adaptable approach provides your business with cost-effective quality training to bring invaluable skills into your business. 

 

This professional training can be funded using your apprenticeship levy, or, if you are not a levy payer (your annual wage bill is less than £3 million), you will pay just 5% of the training costs.

Level 4 AAT Professional Diploma in Accounting

What's the difference between a part time course or apprenticeship? 

If you choose the apprenticeship pathway, the training costs can be funded using your apprenticeship levy.

Apprentices require 20% off the job training towards their qualification so this will need to be taken into consideration if you choose the apprenticeship route.
