This course will give you a basic introduction in bookkeeping techniques and familiarise you with basic accounting terms. Depending on your starting points, we will work our way up to accomplishing more complex procedures. You will work at your own pace and focus on the areas you wish to develop supported by the tutor.

Your tutor will use a variety of teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles to support you in achieving your goals. The teaching on this course will involve lectures, discussions and lots of worked examples. You will spend the majority of your time practising using a PC. Although this is a non accredited course, you are expected to work outside the class to acquire the necessary skills that will enable you to become confident and to progress to the next level. Homework will be set weekly and it is an important component of your learning and progress. You are expected to complete exercise and activities on the online learning platform to prepare, rehearse and demonstrate the skills that you have learnt in class.

There is no exam or formal assessment for this course. However, you will complete an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) which will outline the learning objectives for the course.

There is no formal qualification attached to this course, but you can receive a Certificate of Completion from the college on request.

Following successful completion of your course your tutor will advise you on which of our AAT courses you should enrol onto.
