Guest speaker sessions - AAT
We are excited to offer a series of Guest Speaker Sessions throughout the 2024/25 academic year. Based on inputs and discussions with our partners, these new sessions will be delivered by a member of the Mindful Education team as part of our support for curriculum teams.
Offered on a case-by-case basis, these sessions can be tailored to the individual needs of a particular group. If you would like to discuss these sessions in more detail, please contact a member of our Curriculum and Quality Support team.
During this session, we will advise learners on effective independent study habits by emphasising the benefits of flexible learning and showcasing the support available to them through the VLE.
A member of the Mindful Education team will walk tutors through a summary of the most recent Chief Examiner report. There will be three sessions, each focused on a different Accounting pillar; Financial, Management and Business, as well as highlighting key areas of interest and looking at how the VLE can address any challenges raised, we will also demonstrate how tutors can leverage existing resources to enhance their classroom sessions.
Learners will receive support and advice on developing the writing skills needed for their Business Environment Synoptic (BESY) assessment. This session will include valuable insights into what is included in the BESY assessment, and how it will be marked.
This session will focus on what learners can expect when progressing onto the flexible, blended study method used for AAT Level 2 qualifications, focusing on the importance of independent study and how delivery calendars work.
This is also an opportunity for tutors to identify any barriers to progression, such as internet access, digital skills, or confusion around concepts like “blended” and “flipped learning”.
A member of our team will highlight the new knowledge assessment (KNWA) support available for learners. This will include insights into how the KNWA unit on the VLE has been designed, and how it can be used as part of end-point assessment (EPA) preparation.
Learners will receive an overview of what each level of AAT study might mean in terms of accounting jobs. Topics covered during the session include qualification specifications, as well as time commitments and key ‘pinch points’ for each level.
