Further background information about the Association of Accounting Technicians NVQ study courses offered by Premier Training.

Evidence of competence; work experience.

Types of evidence of competence

Evidence of competence can include, but is not limited to:

• Samples of work produced by the candidate.
• Simulation of work activities.
• Employers Testimonials.
• Personal accounts of competence.
• Responses to questions.

In every case, the assessor will explore the available options with the individual student and an assessment plan will be agreed taking into account each students personal circumstances and employment situation.

Note: you do not need to be working in an accounts environment in order to complete the AAT training course. It is easier if you are working in a suitable accounting role but it is not essential and many students have completed the AAT in order to gain a foothold in the accounting profession.

Many unemployed students and mature people looking for a career change have successfully completed the AAT whilst studying with Premier Training.

Work Experience

In order to progress to membership of the Association you must obtain at least one year's relevant work experience. This can be gained in any employment sector before, during or after studying for the Accounting Technician qualification.

The Education and Training scheme is highly flexible. You may choose to complete the full scheme, one or more stages, or selected units of competence. Whatever you decide, you will receive an AAT certificate for all your achievements. Activities undertaken at work may count towards the qualification.

You may complete the scheme at your own speed and on average, full time employees in accounting can achieve all three stages in about three years.

There are special provisions for AAT Distance Learning Students.
