AAT (Level 2 & 3)Foundation Certificate & Advanced Diploma in Accounting

Yes! We’re an award-winning AAT centre, and we’ve been pioneers in flexible learning for 130 years.

We’re the UK’s most trusted online AAT provider, with a Trustpilot rating of 4.8/5 from more than 4000 independent reviews.

If you’re not sure which level to choose, we recommend the AAT Skillcheck. It’s a 30-minute multiple choice test that will suggest the right level for you based on your accounting knowledge.

Our Foundation & Advanced and Advanced & Professional combined courses are ideal if you'd like to save money and move seamlessly from one qualification to the next.

The Foundation Certificate is perfect if you have no accounting experience or if you haven’t mastered essential skills like double-entry bookkeeping. Most students start at Foundation level, even if they have some accounting experience.

The Advanced Diploma is for you if you have significant practical accounting experience and a firm grasp of all the topics covered at Foundation level.

The Professional Diploma could be ideal if you understand everything covered at Foundation and Advanced level and are fully competent in double-entry bookkeeping. Students rarely enrol directly onto the Professional Diploma without completing Foundation/Advanced or a similar practical accounting qualification first.

Our AAT course guides include a detailed breakdown of the topics covered on each course.

AAT graduates are in high demand by employers for their practical, hands-on accounting skills.
