This qualification delivers a solid foundation in finance administration and core accounting skills, including double-entry bookkeeping, basic costing and an understanding of purchase, sales and general ledgers. Students will also learn about accountancy related business and personal skills and be introduced to the four key themes embedded in the qualification: ethics, technology, communications and sustainability.
This qualification is intended for those either working or aspiring to work in a junior accounting position. It will help you gain an understanding of the processing role as well as improve your confidence with analysing numbers. It is the progression route through the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) qualifications for those with AAT Level 1 Access, or for those without the experience of double entry bookkeeping.
Is there funding?
The course is either Co-funded or fully funded. If you are in receipt of any benefits or low wage (less than £25,000 (£30,491 for CPCA) gross per annum), then the course will be fully funded. If either of these are not applicable, then the course fee of £900 would be payable. This can be paid by credit or with debit card or via invoice to an Employer.
Will I have to do any work at home?
Yes, we recommend spending as much time studying at home as you do in the classroom. So, if you spend one day per week in class, you should also spend one day on self-study spread across the week.
What will I need to provide?
A basic calculator and something to write with. You will require the use of a computer outside of the classes.
Are there any other costs?
Yes, you are also required to register with AAT - the current fee is £180. Any re-sits of AAT exams are charged at rate of £80 per sitting.
Non-completion of the course (including the taking of examinations) or failure to attend 3 consecutive sessions without notification may result in a charge of £185.
