Many of our AAT students are already working and study around existing commitments. You will access your learning through myPitman, our learning management system, which enables you to study at a time and place that suits you best.
The benefit of flexible learning means you are fully in control of your learning pace and can revisit sections of the course whenever you feel the need, something which a more traditional classroom environment cannot offer.
