AAT Level 3 Accounting Course in Westminster. Classes run at City of Westminster College Paddington Green, part-time during the day. The course runs over 22 weeks, making it manageable alongside other commitments. You'll build on core accounting principles and develop the practical skills employers look for in finance roles. The AAT Level 3 accounting qualification is recognised by employers across every sector, not just banks and accountancy firms. Entry requirements are assessed individually, so you don't need to meet a fixed set of prior qualifications to apply.
