Level 3 Advanced Diploma Accounting

The AAT Level 3 Advanced Diploma in Accounting course is the second level of the AAT Technician qualification. As with the level 2, the course aims to provide you with the relevant and practical skills necessary to perform a range of accounting and finance jobs.

Gaining an AAT accountancy qualification opens a world of possibilities. Accounting technicians can be found in all sectors of the economy, from industry to public services, from commerce to accountancy practices. Accounting technicians can be found at different levels too, from accounts clerks to financial controllers. In smaller organisations, accounting technicians may be the only fully trained and qualified accounting staff.

Completing this course will allow you to develop your skills further in preparation for a successful accounting career. The course will build upon your existing knowledge and equip you with the practical skills you will need for an accounting or finance role.

You will develop the skills necessary to prepare final accounts for sole traders and partnerships, together with management accounting skills relating to costing, reporting financial information, and budgeting for cash.

This course includes the following four units:

• Financial Accounting: Preparing Financial Statements
• Management Accounting Techniques
• Tax Processes for Businesses
• Business Awareness

You will be assessed on each unit to ensure that you can demonstrate the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding required to meet the learning outcomes and objectives for each unit. All units will be assessed by a formal computer-based exam.

Successful completion of this course allows progression on to the final year of AAT (Technician level). To qualify as a Member of the Association of Accounting Technicians (MAAT), it is necessary to complete AAT Levels 3 and 4 and to have completed three years of accounting or financial work experience.

The tutors on this course have excellent links with industry professionals, and students will benefit from these partnerships.
