About this course

The course may be funded through a Government Apprenticeship for eligible learners. Fees may apply otherwise, though a payment plan may be available. This level 4 aat accounting course covers the higher-level skills that financial team leaders need, including drafting financial statements, managing budgets, and evaluating financial performance. It builds on Level 3 AAT study and can also serve as an alternative to a university degree. The course runs over 7 days of taught sessions.

Who this course is for

Kaplan's Professional Diploma in Accounting covers higher accounting tasks required by a financial team leader such as drafting financial statement, managing budgets and evaluating financial performance.

It is ideally suited for someone who has completed the Level 3 Advanced Diploma, someone who is at a more advanced stage of their career in finance and who wants to back up their skills with a recognised qualification. It can also be used by those looking for an alternative to university.

Once completed you can go on to be an AAT full member or study for chartered status.
