The AAT has unveiled a new ‘revised’ accountancy qualification. From 1 July the NVQ and diploma routes will be replace with one route to becoming an AAT. Director of education, Clare Morley, took time out of the recent lecturers’ conference to tell PQ magazine that new technology will be at the forefront of the changes. Gone then will be sittings in June and December. Instead all exams will be sat at computers, and in theory on demand.
There will be a healthy transitional period, explain Morley – one year and then another six months for students who need just an extra boost to pass a level.
