Every student is uniqueGold Edge Training teachers collectively have in excess of 50 years experience delivering the AAT qualifications both online and in the classroom. They combine their professional and teaching expertise with the top grade learning resources of Kaplan Publishing to deliver a learning experience that is second to none.

Both Gold Edge Training and Kaplan Publishing recognise that gaining ‘success’ is not a ‘one resource fits all’ achievement. Used together, Gold Edge Training’s teaching and Kaplan’s resources deliver an ‘optimum choice’ in learning that is guaranteed to meet all needs and every learning style.

Gold Edge Training programmes incorporate a variety of core resources including visual learning, reflective learning, e-learning and banks of manual and interactive practice assessments and questions.

Guaranteed success - Pass assuranceOur varied resources monitor and feedback on progress and exam readiness by continuously testing your knowledge and understanding.

Progress testing builds confidence and measures the likelihood of success i.e. the higher the percentage achieved, the higher the likelihood of success, but alone, it does not measure the depth of knowledge that guarantees success.

To ensure all of our students who follow the programme are guaranteed success, Gold Edge Training test both progress and depth of knowledge.

“I GET IT”Is a one-to-one combined student self-analysis and teacher appraisal that occurs up to three times in every unit of AAT. ‘I GET IT’ measures the depth of understanding to identify weak spots in an overall good knowledge and understanding. Weak points are usually the reason why students fail their exams, turning them to strengths as they occur, is why Gold Edge Students pass.

Optimum Choice:Distance and Online Learning is a banner that encompasses a wide variety of learning methods, learning styles and learning requirements. The type of students choosing distance learning vary greatly from independent self-studiers to hands-on traditional learners.

Selecting ‘Optimum Choice’ means we meet the needs of all learning methods, styles and most importantly, we embrace and encourage all learning requirements.

OPTIMUM CHOICE

Some students make the mistake of viewing their study and career aspirations separately. They see the career in the future and believe it doesn’t matter how or where their qualifications are achieved now, as long as they have achieved them.

If these are your thoughts, please think again because your study choice now will shape your future opportunities.

The ‘who with’ and ‘how you study’ choice is the single, most important component to effectively starting out on your career.

Employers use ‘who with’ and ‘how you study’ information to both filter candidates for interviews and interviewees for job offers.

An employer is willing to pay a premium to employ an AAT student because they know AAT, through their accredited training providers, will deliver professional training of a quality and standard expected by themselves and industry in general.

For an employer, it is not enough to say you have passed AAT exams. They want to know you have passed your exams with a quality assured, training provider. To confirm knowledge of ‘where and how you studied’ most employers will request study references from the training provider before confirming or offering employment to a student.

Likewise, many recruitment agency will request the same study reference before proactively seeking work for an AAT student.

“Choosing your study is not a standalone choice, it is a choice that will determine your future career opportunities”



“Don’t be the best candidate... ...who didn’t get the job”

“Optimum Choice” means:• Every student studying on our bronze, silver or gold courses are guaranteed the quality assured

education necessary to provide study references to both employers and recruitment agencies on request.

• Every student as standard will learn via multiple learning methods and materials to meet all learning styles.

• Every course is bespoke to you, including, the type of support you require, the length of time you require to pass and the flexibility you require to fit study around work and personal commitments. Regardless of commitment complexities, we have a study plan for you.

• Multi-choice payment terms are available to avoid running up future student debts or taking funding options that have full-cost inflated course prices

AAT students are sought after by employers because of the knowledge and ability their accredited studies deliver. Many employers include a requirement for job applicants to be studying AAT, part qualified AAT or AAT qualified as a prerequisite of employment.

Those same employers will advertise or discuss at interview, a study package as part of an employment contract. Study packages are common in accountancy employment and can vary from employers paying part or full tuition fees, all study fees, time off for study, or just paying for exams.

Whatever the package includes, the common denominator is the employer may pay part or all of your study costs. They can’t support you in this way if you have already secured personal debt through a loan or funding.

Be a wise student, pay for your first level of study to demonstrate the seriousness in your accountancy ambitions, then wait and see what study packages employment will offer. Not all accounting jobs will include a package, but at least wait and see before funding your next level or taking on unnecessary loans and debts.

“Plan now but think ahead - Don’t incur debt that an employer may pay”



At Gold Edge Training we believe that same level of expertise should be given as standard to our distance and online students. We won’t risk your future career in the hands of unqualified tutors, we’ll make sure your future’s safe in the hands of expert teachers.

OPTIMUM SUPPORT

Did you know? In Universities and Colleges only qualified teachers are allowed to teach professional courses

Why? See our results - only teachers can guide your study to the best you can achieve

Choose the support you need In summary - they’ve been there, done it & are really keen to show you the way

All of our teachers are fully qualified in the accountancy profession. They also had successful careers in accountancy management, before choosing to study again to become qualified teachers.

Your study will be progressive, rewarding, career building, but not always a smooth journey. Our teachers cannot guarantee to remove every mountain for you, but they will teach you, build your confidence and motivate you past those mountains to success.

Every student is unique and that is definitely true in respect of the teaching support they need to be successful. Support requirements vary for many reasons - levels of confidence, prior experience, no prior experience, preferring reflective or proactive learning, the list is endless. However, regardless of the reason, what is absolutely certain is that all students will need some teaching support at some point in their learning to succeed.

At Gold Edge Training we don’t want you to pay for what you don’t need.



“They’ve been there, done it and arereally keen to show you the way”



Bronze programmesAre designed for independent self-learners or students studying with a lot of prior knowledge.

Students in the bronze category need less teaching support and fewer revision books, although the latter can be bought as extras.

Having some teacher support means Gold Edge Training are able to monitor Bronze students’ progress sufficiently to be able to offer a worthwhile Study Reference for potential employers and recruitment agencies.

Unique for a self-learning packages is, Gold Edge Training self-learners are not on their own, they still have two methods of teaching support. They have the security of the reactive ‘I GET IT’ appraisals (see page 16) and they have a number of proactive ‘Use or Save Teacher Tokens’ to use when needed.

• Foundation Certificate in Bookkeeping – 2 x Teacher Tokens• Foundation Fast-track – 3 Teacher Tokens• Foundation Certificate – 5 Teacher Tokens• Advanced Diploma in Bookkeeping – 3 x Teacher Tokens• Advanced Diploma in Accounting – 5 Teacher Tokens• Professional Diploma in Accounting – 6 Teacher Tokens

Teacher TokensUse or Save Teacher Tokens are unique to Gold Edge Training. They can be used to request teaching support at any time throughout study. Bronze students are allocated tokens per course giving them a number of opportunities to ask for one-to-one support. If you don’t use your tokens at the Foundation Level, you can carry them forward to the next level. Likewise if you have tokens left at the end of the Advanced level you can carry them forward to the Professional level.

• Foundation Certificate in Bookkeeping – 2 x Teacher Tokens• Foundation Fast-track – 3 Teacher Tokens• Foundation Certificate – 5 Teacher Tokens• Advanced Diploma in Bookkeeping – 3 x Teacher Tokens• Advanced Diploma in Accounting – 5 Teacher Tokens• Professional Diploma in Accounting – 6 Teacher Tokens

OPTIMUM SUPPORT



Gold programmesAre designed for learners who want the optimum hands-on learning experience. Our gold programmes include all the resources and benefits of the silver programme, including the extensive benefits of open access teacher support.

In addition, our gold programmes offer the ultimate key topic e-learning tutorials. These state of the art visual learning aids allow you to learn at a pace that suits you. You can pause when you need time to think, review when you’re not sure and interactively answer questions to test learning as you progress. Studying with the Gold package means Gold Edge Training are able to monitor Gold students’ progress in many ways to produce a comprehensive Study Reference for potential employers and recruitment agencies. Future employers of Gold students are also able to request a full course report at the end of their studies to further enhance job prospects.

Gain the Extra Mile

Whether you’re taking your first steps to study, preparing for interview or looking for promotion, your challenge is to stand out from the crowd. Part of ‘optimum four’ is to go past where other providers stop by offering add-on short courses and a comprehensive ‘GET THE EDGE’ library. Gold Edge Training not only want their students to have the highest results, we want their futures to be head and shoulders above the rest.

Silver programmesAre designed for learners who have less or no accounting experience. Silver programmes also suit learners who want the security of having open access online teacher support and a wider variety of practice and revision materials. Silver programmes do not include key topic e-learning videos.

Having open access teacher support means every time you have a question, no matter how small or how frequent, you can email or phone your teacher to get help. Open access online teacher support is more beneficial than asking for support in a traditional classroom. Online support is there every day, classroom support is during lesson time only.

Having full teacher support means Gold Edge Training are able to monitor Silver students’ progress sufficiently to be able to offer a detailed Study Reference for potential employers and recruitment agencies.Future employers of Silver students are also able to request a full course report at the end of their studies to further enhance job prospects.

Step 2 When you access the course and enrolment catalogue, you will notice the courses and CPD library have been split, for easy selection, into 3 popular accountancy career paths and 1 academic library.

If you are starting your career and unsure of the direction of your accountancy career, we advise you to select a level 2 course from the ‘Become a Professional Accounting Technician’ category. (To enter any of the categories click on the ‘Read More’ button below each picture).

Choose either the AAT Foundation Certificate in Accounting Level 2 or the AAT Foundation Fast-track level 2 from the Professional Technician category. Both of these AAT courses are highly respected by employers and both comfortably meet the entry requirements for a ‘career start’ role in an accounting office. The courses also give ‘skill expertise’ recognition to those already working in accounts roles,

Both courses will in addition meet the full entry requirements for study on The AAT Advanced Diploma in Accounting Level 3 course or AAT Advanced Certificate in Bookkeeping Level 3 course.

If your career choice is to be a self-employed bookkeeper select a course from the Professional Bookkeeper category. Then to further enhance your AAT Bookkeeping qualification when completed, we would recommend you also study Business Tax and Personal Tax from the AAT Professional Diploma level 4 course.

If you are a non-accounting manager looking to improve career prospect, then gain a good finance knowledge by selecting from our ‘GET the Management Edge’ short courses. Our GET The Management Edge academic library, offer the following excellent ranges of CPD and career development books.

We realise for some students, our standard packages do not meet their bespoke requirements. For example, would you prefer one of the following?
