AAT approves first NI college

AAT has accredited the Northern Regional College (NRC), making it the first further education college in Northern Ireland to offer AAT qualifications.

NRC is offering Level 2 and 3 AAT Bookkeeping and Accounting qualifications across four of its campus sites at Ballymena, Magherafelt, Newtownabbey and Coleraine. It has commenced delivery with the first AAT cohorts and is taking bookings for future courses, including the AAT Accounting Software Level 2 Foundation Award from September 2022.


Rob Alder, Head of Business Development, AAT, said: “This will make a real difference to people of all ages who are looking to improve their skills or develop a new career path by enabling them to access high quality and well recognised courses, as well as helping employers to build their finance team’s skills.”
