2012 has been a tough year for AAt. In addition to bedding in the new QCF qualification, we had to relocate in January. But after much hard work our staff and students have all turned in gold medal performances to be proud of.
We’re pleased to show off our 2012 exams results as it’s been another “Excellent year,” said Managing Partner, Jenny Gidney, “with AAt continuing to produce results well above the national average, confirming us as the premier AAT centre in the region”.
Apprenticeships are now even more accessible to businesses in the King’s Lynn and Wisbech area following the provision of services in the Boathouse Business Centre in Wisbech. This will help business in recruiting quality apprentices and training them to produce excellent, motivated employees, fit for outstanding organisations.
Over the years, AAt are proud to have maintained a high standard in pass rates. Once more, excellent exam results were obtained at Christmas, a fact that has been endorsed by the AAT!
This year Anglia Accountancy training tutors and students have been commended by the AAT for achieving high first time success rates at Level 4 for both Financial performance and Financial statements.
As a result, AAt have even been asked to share teaching tips and resources on how students have achieved such successful results. These tips and resources will be shared with other training providers at the 2012 AAT conference.
Receiving this approval from the AAT has of course been well received by tutors and staff, who take it as a positive pat on the back for all their hard work and effort. It’s another sign that the Anglia Accountancy training approach is effective, top quality and a winner for students.
Anglia Accountancy Training (AAt) are pleased to announce they have moved to new premises. The move ensures the continuous improvement to facilities and services for students.
We are very pleased to confirm that AAt have continued our exam success with the new QCF qualification using the Computer Based Assessments.
AAt are pleased to be able to offer Apprenticeships to all students. But like a game of snakes and ladders, the climb to the top may come with a few challenges along the way.
For most of the last 15 years AAt have been able to offer Apprenticeships to all its students under the age of 25. AAt is now potentially able to extend this service to all students irrespective of age. (Although we are waiting for final confirmation of this). We hope to offer all our courses to all our students via the apprenticeship program. This will mean that if your staff are accepted onto a programme we will be able to reduce our charges by up to 75% and 50% in most cases.
On July 5th 2011 AAt held its annual presentations. Presenting the awards this year were Rowena Chamberlain, Account Manager from the AAT Business Development Team and Tania Hayes, Head of Conduct and Compliance at AAT.
This September was all change at Anglia Accountancy training with the introduction of the new AAT courses – that means new course names, new syllabuses and new online computer exams! To meet these changes, AAt has fully refurbished their training centre – new smart boards and a dedicated computer suite are among their many improvements.
As for the new courses the changes have addressed many of the weaknesses of the old NVQ process and consolidated on the challenges of accounting in today’s working environment. Foundation has become Certificate Level 2, Intermediate Level 3 becomes Diploma Level 3 and Technician become Diploma Level 4. A brief introduction to what these changes actually mean follows.
The final unit of the AAT Technician can seem daunting. But is it as bad as it seems? Apparently not says Irene Stevens pictured below with Mark Jackson, partner in charge of training at Rawlinsons, one of the area’s leading firms of Accountants.
Now is the best time you’ll ever have to finish off that final project! The new AAT courses replaced the previous NVQ structure in September 2010 and time is running out before your previous units may be affected meaning you won’t qualify to complete. Now is your chance to slay that dragon and complete your final unit. Don’t lose your chance to get your MAAT! It is just £299 to complete your AAT course with an average commitment of 4 hours per week. You can even work from home to complete this unit. Transition from other providers is easy and remember that the ‘Project’ is a prerequisite to further study. Irene’s story is a great example of how simple it could be to complete the ‘Project’ with AAt’s help.
With results that have never dropped lower than the exceptionally high standards achieved in 2007, AAt continues to lead the way in regional accountancy training.
This is of course down to the commitment of the students together with the contribution of teaching staff in classes and exam preparation. AAt students consistently perform higher than the national average, a true credit to AAt staff and students.
