AAT's Education and Training Scheme
The AAT's Education and Training Scheme was designed by employers for
employers to give people the skills they require to succeed in the
ever-changing workplace. The move more than five years ago to the
competence-based approach to training reflected employers needs for a
structure providing more practical assessment against occupational
standards.
Again, it was evident from a presidential visit to Cyprus made by AAT
earlier this year that the tremendous growth in the country's economy
and industry, and, in the 3, 000 off-shore companies, also registered
there, has meant the need for a skilled workforce is stronger than ever.
And at one employers meeting, Mr Theedoros Parpens, Partner at Price
Waterhouse, Nicosia, reinforced this message giving a personal account
of how Accounting Technicians are benefiting industry and commerce.
Employers willingness to register as Approved Assessment Centres shows
the high regard in which the AAT's competence-based Education and
Training Scheme is held. Indeed, with the recognition and support of
more than 30, 000 employers worldwide, the Scheme increasingly fulfils a
valuable specialist function.
