Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship Level 3 - AAT

This Level 3 programme builds on the foundations for entry level talent to support growth within an Accountancy and Finance function.

Employees on this apprenticeship will ensure an Accountancy and Finance practice performs in the most effective way. It includes the AAT Level 3 Diploma in Accounting and provides the opportunity for them to support the business with essential skills and behaviours to drive results.

You will learn how to prepare financial statements for Sole Traders and Partnerships, the importance of management accounting information, and how to prepare VAT returns. You’ll develop the technical skills to start, or progress, your career in accountancy and this will allow you to continue with your studies onto Level 4.

To pass this level you will need to study the following four units:

• Financial Accounting; Preparing Financial Statements (FAPS).
• Management Accounting Techniques (MATS).
• Tax Processes for Business (TPFB).
• Business Awareness (BUAW).

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

We want team members who are eager to learn, adaptable, and committed to professional growth. Key skills include:

• Time Management: Ability to balance work and study effectively.
• Adaptability: Willingness to learn and take on new challenges.
• Attention to Detail: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Communication: Confidence in speaking with colleagues and clients.
• Initiative: A proactive attitude with a desire to develop and succeed.

As an Audit & Accounts Assistant, you’ll start by studying towards your AAT Level 3 qualification, with full support to progress onto the ICAEW ACA qualification to become a Chartered Accountant.
