How the Learning Portal can help you
E-learning modules
Drill down into some key topic areas, with a blend of easy-to-understand facts, interactions, and questions. The real-life scenarios contained in the e-learning modules will help bring together elements of what you’ve learned in each unit and tackle problems in an imagined workplace.
The modules are split into three sections – Foundation, Advanced, and Professional – and are designed to help you throughout your career in finance.
Videos
For AAT students by AAT students, the range of study support videos offers a quick and easy way to review a key skill in just five minutes or less.
Each of the videos features real students speaking in their own words about specific topics or areas of study. Many of the videos also include helpful animations to illustrate key learning points.
Podcasts
AAT Lifelong Learning Portal podcasts feature interviews with experts in various fields within the world of accounting and finance.
Many delve deeper into key areas that students have historically struggled with, such as dealing with exam pressure. Other topics discussed include study and revision skills, writing skills, and exam management techniques.
Green Light tests
These handy question sets cover key areas within each unit, allowing you to quickly identify areas where you need to brush up your knowledge.
A traffic light system – using the colours red, amber, and green to rate your performance on the test – clearly indicates the areas where you need to put in a bit more work.
