Typical Entry Points

Post GCSE

You can start your accountancy training as soon as you finish your GSCEs. The most likely route for you will be to commence your AAT studies as an apprentice at the Foundation level. Entering at this stage will probably take you three years. At the end of each year you should achieve an NVQ

• Year 1: Foundation Stage, NVQ 2
• Year 2: Intermediate Stage, NVQ 3
• Year 3: Technician Stage, NVQ 4

However if you have no previous accounting qualifications we will ask you to do an Accounting Initial Assessment to ensure that this is the most appropriate entry level. You may choose to complete the Fast-track Foundation level which means that you can complete this level over 6 months instead of a year and then progress to the intermediate level. We will discuss with you the best option for you.

The duration of this programme will probably be two years to achieve full Accounting Technician status. You may also study directly for a chartered qualification although we would recommend progress via AAT.

A growing number of employers will require a non accounting graduate to complete the AAT qualification before investing in the training cost of a subsequent professional accountancy qualification.

... and it's never too late!

If you haven’t studied for a number of years or are looking for a career change, the Accounting Foundation qualification is an ideal starting point. You may even be able to enter directly at the Intermediate Stage if you have some previous relevant experience.

If you want to become a Chartered Accountant, the AAT is ideal for kick starting your studies and preparing you for the considerable challenges that are required to study for chartered status.
