AAT Advanced Diploma in Accounting - Level 3 - Advanced Synoptic Assessment (AVSY)

Advanced Synoptic Assessment (AVSY)

You’ll study the relevance of ethics in accountancy and learn about unethical behaviour or illegal acts in your accounting role. You will also learn the relevant spreadsheet skills and techniques which Accounting Technicians will use on a daily basis by incorporating the knowledge you have learnt from AVBK, FAPR and MMAC.

Assessed only through synoptic assessment:

Professional Ethics (PETH)

This course will provide you with an understanding of the need to act ethically, the relevance to the
accountant's work of the ethical code for professional accountants, how to act ethically in an accounting
role and how to identify actions to take in relation to unethical behaviour or illegal acts.

Spreadsheets for Accountants (SPSH)

This unit will allow you to design and structure appropriate spreadsheets to meet customer needs, use
spreadsheet software to record, format and organise data, use relevant tools to manipulate and analyse
data, and use tools and techniques to prepare and report accounting information.

Level 3

This level will encourage you to master more complex accounting principles in both Bookkeeping and Management Accounting. 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’ll need to study five units (also known as subjects), which are all mandatory. Four of the units are examined individually and there is also a synoptic assessment that you’ll take towards the end of the level, which incorporates the final two units as well as drawing on all of the other units you’ve studied at this level.

• Have recently left school or college.
• Work in accounts in a junior or administrative role.
• Are thinking of changing career to become an accountant.

Did you know that accountancy is one of the most popular choices for people who want a new career path? Even though you need to be dedicated, you can easily fit AAT training around your work and personal life.

Salaries vary from job to job and city to city, but a typical entry accounts role could see you earning between £16,000-£24,000. Over time you could see this rise to as much as £37,000 as you progress and gain experience.

It also opens up further study options, including ACCA for finance and tax, or CIMA for corporate accounting where qualified salaries can exceed £60,000.

You must be 16 or over and be competent in Maths and English to apply at Level 2.

If you have previous accountancy experience or A-Levels, you may be exempt from some exams.

With an AAT qualification, the world is your oyster! Whilst studying you'll develop the skills to get your first role as an Accounts Assistant. As you get further through the qualification, you'll be able to progress and even specialise with jobs such as Payroll Manager, Finance Analyst, Tax Manager and Bookkeeper becoming available.
