AATLevel1Access AAT Access is a new flexible, home study Level 1 Accounting Qualification launched in January 2011. Accredited under the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF). It is designed to help less experienced adults and young students (16‐19) gain the skills and confidence to build a career in business or accountancy. It will also help students who are not ready for Level 2 ‐ this may be because they:
Lack confidence Speak English as a second language Prefer more support or a stepped approach to grasp the
accounting concepts
The opportunity to develop business skills and grow in confidence will help them to move into the workplace or progress to the AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting.
