The new AAT level 4 Diploma for Professional Accounting Technicians opens for registration on 1 September. That means the current Level 4 closes to new registrations on 31 August.
The new exams will be introduced in two waves, with the first wave happening on 21 September (FNAC & MNAC). More exams will then come online on 12 October (ATIC & AVBA). The new tax exam (PTAX)will be available from January 2027.
All papers are compulsory; there are no options. Students must now sit a tax and an audit assessment.
The AAT will now be looking at Levels 2 and 3, which will be launched in September 2028. We could get a look at what these levels look like in September 2027, or maybe before.
In an exclusive interview AAT’s product director Rachel Staples said employers and training providers were heavily involved shaping Level 4 and she wants that continue with Levels 2 and 3. She stressed: “We want them to get involved in our early consultation because they have such fantastic insight for shaping the future.”
