AAT Level 4 Diploma in Professional Accounting

Every business needs staff trained in accounting, our job is to get you fully qualified.

We specialise exclusively on the AAT qualification. That means we can concentrate on getting you through your exams and moving up the career ladder.

Level 4 takes the knowledge gained at level 3, and covers:

• the preparation of limited company accounts
• budgeting
• decision making
• cost control
• project evaluation
• implementing internal controls

Included in our course fee, you'll also choose 2 of the 5 optional units - to focus on areas that interest you which can cover tax, audit, cash or credit management.

• Tuition recordings which cover the whole syllabus
• Pre-recorded to watch when it suits you, and as many times as you need.
• Full, step by step, work through of the official AAT practice exams, so you know exactly how the exams are structured, and what to expect.
• Tutor support until midnight, 7 days a week
• You will receive printed workbooks/notes (which your tutor uses in your lessons) delivered by our publishers Kaplan plus Exam Kit books (for question practice)
• Enrolment is online, so you'll have access to your recordings & materials within minutes.

Our mission is to make your studies affordable, enjoyable and successful.

What our learners say:

"The online lectures were great, the downloadable practice question workbooks are very helpful, but most of all, McArthur Online feels very human. For Level 2, my old training provider lacked human contact, and didn't really clear up my questions. The video lectures with McArthur Online are much easier to learn from, and Jon talks about things in much more detail but with easy to understand examples. Plus, having a tutor as a direct contact, who actually responds with detailed answers to my email queries, has been essential. On completion of Level 4 in 2021, I got a new job as a Management Accountant for a Digital Marketing Agency – thanks to the subjects learnt at AAT." Rebecca Blundy

"McArthur Online’s teaching strategy meant I was able to grasp the main accounting concepts quickly and effectively - this then enabled me to move onto more advanced and complex areas within my job. It was a win-win! Having Jon and his team on hand 7 days per week to assist me was an absolute life saver on more than one occasion; I was then able to go into all of my exams feeling thoroughly prepared and ready to tackle whatever the papers threw at me! I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience training with McArthur Online and would recommend them to anyone looking to study their AAT qualification!" Charlie Borrett
