This diploma is for anyone dedicated to the progression of their finance and accountancy career through the attainment of professional qualifications.

Study of the Level 4 Professional Diploma in Accounting* will enable you to progress your career to more senior management accountancy roles.

Many of our AAT students are already working and study around existing commitments. You will access your learning through the Pitman Campus, our online learning platform, which enables you to study at a time and place that suits you best.
