We offer the foundation, intermediate and advanced stages of the AAT qualifications which are based on nationally agreed standards of competence. This new AAT qualification is appropriate for those who have completed AAT Levels 2 and 3 and also for students who have previously achieved NVQ or Diploma pathway qualifications.
