The Nuclear Institute (NI) is working with AAT (The Association of Accounting Technicians), the world’s leading professional body for accounting technicians, to provide specialist financial training options for its members.
Two courses are now available to NI members with an exclusive discount:
- Business Finance Basics for Finance Professionals
- Business Finance Basics for Non-Finance Professionals
Each course is a three-hour session consisting of six modules including video tutorials and interactive learning. For non-financial professionals seeking to understand financial planning and management, the course will support understanding of key financial statements and accounting concepts.
For current Finance Professionals the course is aimed at those looking for a renewed understanding of financial concepts, covering the core skills that underpin sound financial planning and management.
Robert Gofton, NI Chief Executive Officer said: “As part of our commitment to developing our members, we’re proud to launch a new partnership with AAT. Our first collaboration is to offer discounted access to high-quality financial training and qualifications.
In today’s nuclear sector, financial literacy isn’t just for finance teams, it’s a core skill for professionals at every level. Whether you're early in your career, managing budgets, or looking to better interpret financial reports, these courses, especially those tailored for non-finance professionals, will empower our members with essential management capabilities.
This initiative not only supports individual career progression but also strengthens the financial acumen across the sector, benefiting employers and the wider industry”.
Commenting on the partnership, Isla Billett, Membership, Commercial and Charity Product Director at AAT, said: “Collaborating with the Nuclear Institute allows us to extend practical, bite-sized financial training to a sector where sharp money management directly impacts safety, innovation and growth. Financial literacy is a vital skill for every profession, no matter the role. These courses deliver clear, actionable skills in just three hours—equipping members to lead projects with confidence and add real value to their organisations.”
