Key features include:
- An audio commentary for each section accompanied by the full written text and graphical examples, e.g. of documents being
discussed.
- Interactive questions for each section to reinforce learning – both multiple choice and practical exercises.
- The opportunity to move backwards and forwards through all the material and repeat tutorial and questions as many times as
required.

Centres can use the PQL system as a learning support tool alongside their traditional delivery of the qualification to students within the actual centre.
There is also a significant opportunity for centres to use the system to offer the AAT qualification by open or distance learning, allowing students to study at a time and place that is convenient to them and fits around their lifestyles.
PQL is hosting a series of free seminars around the UK to discuss how to implement an online teaching and learning resource for the AAT qualification and to demonstrate their new online college. The series starts in London in January 2007.
