AAT Access Award in Accounting

AAT Access Award in Accounting

The AAT Access Award in Accounting is a short qualification with just one assessment

It helps students develop essential business and finance skills covering the basic core areas in accounting and finance, which can be applied directly to the workplace.

The Access Award is recommended as an entry level if: you need to get to grips with business language and terminology; have not studied for some time and need a general training refresher; or need a basic introduction to accounting and business skills.
