Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT)



AAT is the professional body for Accounting Technicians. It was established in the UK in 1980 and is sponsored by the four major chartered accountancy bodies in the UK. In the 19 years since AAT was founded, the AAT qualification has become known and recognised in most parts of the world, so much so that AAT now has over 92 000 members and students worldwide. The qualification process involves a combination of Central Assessments (exams) and Devolved Assessment (continuous workplace assessment or simulations). There are three levels:

  • Foundation
  • Intermediate
  • Technician
  • Membership of the AAT qualifies you as a licentiate of the BIA.
