Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional AAT training focuses on passing exams. We focus on helping your team recognise themselves as financial professionals and develop the knowledge (Know It), skills (Show It), and behaviors (Live It) that create lasting career transformation. The AAT qualification is the proofβ€”not the purpose.
These are government-funded apprenticeships. If you pay the Apprenticeship Levy, the cost comes from your levy funds. If you don't pay the levy, the government covers 95% of training costs and you contribute just 5%. Your team member earns their regular salary throughout.
Yes! Level 2 is designed for people new to accounting. We've successfully developed team members from admin roles, customer service, and other backgrounds into confident accounting professionals. What matters is their willingness to learn and your recognition of their potential.
Learners spend 20% of their working hours on learning (on-the-job and off-the-job combined). This typically means one day per week, though we work with you to structure it in a way that works for your businessβ€”whether that's full days, half days, or distributed throughout the week.
Absolutely. AAT Level 4 provides exemptions from several ACCA, CIMA, or ICAEW exams, making the path to Chartered Accountant status significantly shorter. We support learners in understanding their options and can guide them toward the most appropriate chartered qualification for their career goals.
