Introducing the new AAT Syllabus change: Q2022
AAT is currently preparing their regular syllabus change to come into action on 1 September 2022, moving over from AQ2016 to Qualifications 2022 (Q2022).
The main differences between AQ2016 and Qualifications 2022 are:
- The removal of repetition of syllabus content between levels
- Update of material to better reflect current conditions and tasks in the accountancy
- All levels have fewer assessments as part of the qualification
- Removal of some modules:
- Level 2 – Using Accounting Software
- Level 3/Level 4 – Synoptic Assessment
- Addition of new modules:
- Level 2 – The Business Environment
- Level 3 – Business Awareness
- The combining of the following modules:
- Level 3 – Advanced Bookkeeping and Final Accounts Preparation have been combined into Final Accounting
- Level 4 – Budgeting and Decision & Control have been combined into Advanced Management Accounting
- There are four new ‘themes’ throughout all levels; technology, communication, ethics, and sustainability
For apprenticeships:
- The full AAT qualification will be completed ‘on-programme’ (before gateway)
- End Point Assessment – will be outside of the qualification for levels 3 and 4
