AAT Level 3 Advanced Diploma in Accounting

The course covers a range of essential and complex accounting tasks, including maintaining cost accounting records and the preparation of reports and returns.

This qualification comprises four mandatory units:

• Business Awareness
• Financial Accounting: Preparing Financial Statements
• Management Accounting Techniques
• Tax

Key themes have also been introduced throughout the suite of accounting qualifications including technology, ethics, sustainability and communication.

Your tutor will monitor your progress in partnership with you and you have the support you need to achieve success. It is not always about being first in your exams or always being top of the class, it is about understanding what you are learning and being able to apply it to the best of your ability. That’s what your tutor will help you with.

There is one online exam for each of the mandatory modules. If you don’t make the pass mark, then you are able to resit the exam at a later date. Prior to each exam, your tutor will set you mock exams, so you are confident and prepared for the real thing.

You will need to spend at least the same amount of time outside class on your studies as you do in college. Maybe more near your exam. It is a bi commitment but worth the effort.
