Association Of Accounting Technicians (AAT)
AAT is a professional body of Accounting Technicians. It was established in the UK in 1980 and it is sponsored by the four major chartered accountancy bodies in the UK. Since it was founded, the AAT qualification has become known and recognized worldwide .Thus with an AAT qualification one is sure of getting a job in most parts of the world. AAT approves colleges and centres who meet their requirements to offer its qualifications worldwide and in our case, Botswana Accountancy College is such a centre, which runs AAT courses in both Gaborone whose approved Assessment Centre Code is OO0503 and Francistown Centre Code OO2202. The qualification process involves a combination of exams and workplace experience evidence and practical simulations.
All assessments are computer based (CBA) and students sit for examinations in line with the College planned but flexible exam dates which consider the students’ needs and progression. AAT provides a competence-based Education and Training Scheme which develops and assesses both work-based skills and underpinning knowledge and understanding.
