Accounts/Finance Assistant Apprenticeship Level 2 – AAT.

This apprenticeship is a perfect match for someone without any accountancy or bookkeeping knowledge. On this programme they will learn the building blocks of the modern accountant. Not only will they grasp the fundamentals of bookkeeping, but we will help them develop those vital skills and behaviours to enable them to put their knowledge into action. If you’re new to accountancy and finance, looking to change your career into accountancy or have previously worked in an accounts department, this level is ideal for you. 

You don’t need any prior experience working in accounts to study for the AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting. There are no entry requirements, but you do need good maths, IT and English skills, and a willingness to learn. You’ll learn a broad range of core accounting skills, including double-entry bookkeeping and basic costing, as well as accountancy-related business skills and personal skills. 

You must successfully complete the following:

Introduction to Bookkeeping (ITBK). Principles of Bookkeeping Control (POBC). Principles of Costing (PCTN). Business Environment (BESY).

You will also be required to complete an End Point Assessment (EPA), which will include a synoptic assessment and interview with a supporting portfolio.

Training will be provided by attending either face-to-face classroom-based lessons or Live Online. An apprenticeship has to be relevant to the job you are undertaking, and you must dedicate time to off-the-job training, as well as completing knowledge, skills and behaviours associated with your apprenticeship.

Roles in finance.
