About this course

AAT Level 4 Accounting Course in Middlesbrough. Classes run at Middlesbrough College, part-time on a day or block release basis. If you are 16 to 18 years old, tuition fees may be remitted. If you are 19 or over, fees may apply depending on your residency, prior qualifications, and personal circumstances. This level 4 AAT accounting qualification covers drafting financial statements, managing budgets, and evaluating financial performance. You can also specialise in areas such as tax and credit control. The course typically takes one month.

Who this course is for

This advanced level covers higher accounting tasks, including drafting financial statements, managing budgets and evaluating financial performance. You will also be able to specialise in areas such as tax and credit control.

Entry requirements

You must have achieved a Level 2 English and maths, and have completed Level 3 AAT or similar qualification. Certificates will need to be produced at enrolment. Due to the high demands of the course, there is a requirement to have some existing accounting knowledge to be accepted on this level and all new applicants are required to take part in an informal interview and skills assessment.

What you will learn

  • You'll draft financial statements to professional standards.
  • You'll manage budgets and monitor financial performance.
  • You'll evaluate an organisation's financial position and report on it.
  • You'll apply specialist knowledge in areas such as tax or credit control.
  • You'll analyse financial data to support business decision-making.
  • You'll develop skills in higher-level accounting tasks required at management level.

How you will learn

You'll study in the classroom at Middlesbrough College on a day or block release schedule. Learning is supported by tutor-led sessions covering both technical accounting knowledge and specialist optional units. Assessment is through a combination of computer-based exams and synoptic assessments set by AAT. You'll need to pass each unit assessment to progress through the qualification.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Middlesbrough College will confirm anything else you need before you start.

What you could study next

Completing the AAT Level 4 Diploma in Professional Accounting can open the door to chartered accountancy training. You could progress to the ACCA Qualification or the ICAEW ACA, both of which recognise AAT Level 4 and may grant exemptions from some early exams. If management accounting interests you, the CIMA Certificate in Management Accounting is another option. These routes lead to fully chartered status and senior finance roles.
