ATI Academy: Year Two
The ATI Academy delivers tuition online for the Diploma for Accounting Technicians programme.
Students typically attend live online classes two evening a week and are supported outside of weekly classes via interactive Q&A and Chat forums. All live online classes are also recorded so students can watch back at a time that suits them.
With the guidance of a teaching scheme and support of professional faculty our ATI Academy Online programme combines the flexibility of online learning with the structure and expertise of traditional education. We aim to empower our students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in their exams and complete the programme.
