Choosing my AAT level 4 training provider

Charlay

Hello,

I'm looking for some advice, hoping to benefit from your experience(s).

Having completed levels two and three as a distance learner, I've decided that I'm going to go through level 4 as a classroom student and I've drawn up a shortlist of training providers in my area.

What I want to know is: what questions should I be asking them that will help me make my final decision as to who I study with? Are there any questions you wish you'd asked before you chose your last training provder? What are the really important questions that I should be asking before making my decision.

Obviously I've never studied any AAT in a classroom environment, so I don't know what to watch out for, what makes a good/bad training provider and I'm keen not to miss something really important. I really want to avoid picking the duff one in my area!

All advice given would be appreciated.

Thanks
Charlay

I would recommend Bpp without hesitating, if you can not get to a class, it is worth considering online classroom, you receive a folder and text books, access to a tutor and forum, and 12 months access to your chosen subject tutorial recordings.
have a look here. http://www.bpp.com/professional-qualifications-course/aat/aat-ways-to-study
I have also heard that Icount are very good too and they have also started an online recording to enhance classroom study - I think they also provide a folder and use the Kaplan books, but would not swear to it.

Goodluck with whoever you choose

I studied all 3 levels with my local college and the standard of tutors was generally excellent (only one tutor whose teaching style I didn't get along with).

Might be worth asking if they have any current/previous students who could tell you about their experience, maybe you could observe a class before comitting.

I would ask about class flexibility (for example if I miss a daytime class I can attend an evening class instead), what is included in your course fees, if they hold revision classes, timescales etc and of course how much it costs.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Good luck to those of you going through the course at the moment.
