Each year we take on trainees to study both AAT and ACA courses as direct entrants. If you are educated to:-

• A level standard
  • You will commence your study at AAT level, with the opportunity to progress to either ACA or ACCA on completion of your first course.
  • The AAT programme consists of 3 levels, Foundation, Intermediate and Technician level, but with many students able to gain exemption from the Foundation level, you can be qualified in 2 years, or be ready to move on to a higher level qualification.
  • Detailed requirements..

• Degree standard
  • You will commence your study at ACA level, a programme which will take 3 years of study and work based experience to reach full qualification.
  • Detailed requirements..

If you have high ambitions but are concerned about going to university and the associated tuition and living costs that you will incur and spend many years repaying, you may want to consider the fast track route to full qualification.

You can join the profession to study AAT after taking A levels, and on completion transfer to the ACA programme, achieving full qualification in just four years!

And all that whilst being paid a salary, and having all your tuition fees paid! This really is a great opportunity and a real alternative to taking a degree without having to feel that you have compromised your long term career options.

Detailed requirements..
