HTFT Partnership

The new PQ Magazine is out.

And we're in it. Twice.

First, something that made us smile.

We asked our students a simple question…
Where's your best place to study?
And the photos came flooding in.

Kitchen tables. Quiet corners. Trains.
Gardens. Sofas. The occasional coffee shop.

Real people. Real study spaces. Real dedication.

We picked three winners.
Each walked away with a pair of Apple AirPods.

And the best entries made it into PQ Magazine.
Thank you to everyone who entered.

And then there's the second story.
One that's harder to write.

We've launched the Clare Finch Accounting Scholarship.

Full tuition. Full support.
In memory of our CEO.

Clare believed brilliant people shouldn't be held back by circumstance.

So this scholarship carries that belief forward.
It opens the door for someone who might not otherwise get the chance.
That's the legacy she'd have wanted.

Not a plaque.
An opportunity.

The best magazine for anyone studying accountancy 👇

To every HTFT learner juggling it all right now… 👇
Work. Study. Home. Repeat.

It's a lot.

And in the middle of all of it, it's easy to forget who you actually are beyond the to-do list.
June 22nd is International Being You Day.

Not a day to be more productive.
Not a day to catch up on revision.
A day to remember that you — exactly as you are right now — are enough.

The one who shows up to work tired but still tries.
The one who opens the textbooks after a full day.
The one who keeps going even when it feels impossible.

That person? Pretty remarkable. 🌟

So today, give yourself a break from the judgment.
Celebrate how far you've come.
And know that we're cheering you on — every step of the way.

Happy International Being You Day from all of us at HTFT Partnership. 💙

What's one thing you're proud of yourself for right now?

60 questions.
90 minutes.
No partial marks.
That's CIMA E1.
And it doesn't reward casual preparation.
Sitting it in the next few months?
Here's what's worth knowing.
Our next live cohort starts next Wednesday.
It's a flipped classroom.
Self-study materials and recordings let you work through the syllabus in your own time.
Then live Zoom masterclasses tackle the hardest part.
Applying the concepts to exam-style questions.
Masterclasses run Wednesday evenings.
6.30pm–8.45pm UK.
With an expert tutor who answers the queries you couldn't crack alone.
Who shows you why the wrong answers are wrong.
And works through problems with you and your classmates.
You'll get full coverage of the current syllabus.
Including the recent Generative AI additions.
The four foundational models.
How the finance function uses GenAI.
And the ethical considerations around it.
The timetable takes you from where you are now…
to sitting your exam in late August.
Especially valuable if F1 and P1 come next.
With a view to Operational Case Study in May 2027.
Here's the thing.
Self-study around a full-time job is harder than most people realise.
That's what the live cohort is built for.
First masterclass: Wednesday 24 June.

Football doesn't cause domestic abuse.

Let's say that clearly, because what follows is stark.

When England loses — DA reports rise by 38%.
When they win or draw — still up 26%.

Researchers have tracked this pattern since at least 2013.
And the numbers are growing.
During Euro 2024, police recorded 351 football-related DA incidents across England and Wales.
Up from 193 in 2021.

The World Cup starts this week.

Abuse is a perpetrator's choice.
Never the consequence of a scoreline.

But as educators and employers, awareness matters.
We can know the signs.

We can make sure people around us know where to turn.

If you or someone you know needs support:
📞 National Domestic Abuse Helpline (Refuge): 0808 2000 247
📞 Men's Advice Line (Respect): 0808 8010 327

Churchill refused to ration fish and chips during the war.

Not because they weren't important.
Because they were.

He knew that when people are under pressure…
the things that sustain them matter more, not less.

Exam season feels a bit like that.

The late nights. The practice questions. The self-doubt.
The moment you walk into the room and have to back yourself.

Our learners are doing that right now.
AAT. CIMA. ACCA.
Sitting papers that will shape their careers.

It's not easy.
But they're showing up.

That's the Churchill bit, right there.

Not the grand speeches.
The quiet decision to keep going anyway.

Happy National Fish and Chips Day. 🐟🍟

We're proud of every single one of you.

Something big is changing in AAT.

The Level 4 Diploma for Professional Accounting Technicians — the L4PAT — launches in September 2026.

It's the highest qualification in the AAT framework.
And it's been redesigned around real-world skills.

5 mandatory units.
Computer-marked assessments throughout.
No written tasks.

Financial Accounting. Advanced Business Awareness. Applied Management Accounting.
Internal Accounting Systems and Controls. Plus Business Tax or Personal Tax.

Completed over 12 to 18 months, it opens the door to senior finance roles, full MAAT membership, and further chartered studies.

The new registration window opens 1 September 2026.
(Last registrations for the legacy Q2022 syllabus close 31 August 2026.)

We're currently finalising our timetables for learners looking to start in September.

New qualification. Mid-study queries. Apprenticeship enquiries.
Whatever your question, we'd love to hear from you.
