Level 1 ‘Access’ courses are offered in the following subject areas: Business Skills, Bookkeeping, Accounting Software. You are free to take one or a combination of all three to fill any gaps and build a solid foundation from which to move onto level 2 qualifications with ease.

This will mean that many more people will not have to pay a fee nor take out an advanced learner loan for a level 3 AAT qualification.
