AAT Certificate in Accounting (Blended Learning) - Level 2
Overview
We are excited to introduce our revamped AAT courses. With multiple start dates available throughout the year, our blended learning approach seamlessly integrates face-to-face interaction with online activities. This new model entails attending college for one evening every week or one full day every two weeks, accompanied by 3-6 hours of online tasks to be completed at your convenience before the subsequent classroom session.
This course covers a broad range of core accounting skills, as well as accountancy-related business skills and personal skills. Key themes have also been introduced throughout the suite of accounting qualifications, including technology, ethics, sustainability and communication.
An AAT qualification offers you a professional status that reflects the skills you’ve worked so hard to gain.
