Accounting
If you want to gain a well recognised qualification, further your career in accounting or move into the field of accountancy, perhaps following a career break an AAT course is ideal.
The accounting profession hosts a wide range of career opportunities including auditing, consulting, corporate finance, tax planning, self-employment and many more. As an AAT qualified accounting technician you will have an internationally recognised and respected qualification that shows potential employers that you have been trained to a high standard.

Clair Wright
AAT Student
I chose to study for a professional AAT qualification as I’ve always been interested in playing with figures and Solihull College is right on my doorstep,
“I’m a fulltime receptionist for a large car parking company, where I work a mixture of shift patterns and, being a single mum with a teenage daughter, there’s always loads to do and not much spare time – so the flexibility of studying my course in the evenings fitted perfectly.
“Solihull College is a great establishment and I would definitely recommend it to others wanting to study. I have met so many nice people here, and made lots of friends, which is one of the best things about the course.
“I am really looking forward to completing my course, as this would be such a personal achievement. My ultimate goal is to own my own bed and breakfast by the coast and my AAT qualification will mean I can manage my own accounts.”
