As an employer, you won’t always know what resources AAT has available to help your students and apprentices. So we are starting a new monthly round-up of our communications and resources.

We’re also including resources that will be helpful to non-finance professionals within your organisations.

AQ 2016 campaign

At the time of publication, there are 101 days to go before AAT retires its AQ2016 qualification. Many thousands of students have yet to complete their courses or apprenticeship, AAT has therefore launched a campaign for those studying AQ2016 qualification to cross the finish line before 30 September.

Tackling synoptic assessments

Thousands of students have only one hurdle left – passing their synoptic exam. It can seem daunting, but we have a package of resources to walk them through successful preparation.

• Article – 9 top articles to help you nail your synoptic exam
• Facebook Live –  Tackling your synoptic assessment

Booking assessments

Here’s a really important heads-up about assessments. As part of our campaign, we’re advising students to book their assessments now. It’s going to become harder to find places as more assessment centres begin to focus on AAT’s new qualification suite, Q2022 – so make sure your employees don’t’ miss out.

Help with key modules

Not everyone has got to the synoptic stage yet. We still have a full range of resources available for those tackling individual modules.

• Study tips level 2
• Study tips level 3
• Study tips level 4

• Micro Economics
• Understanding principles of payroll
