About the course
This qualification is intended for those either working or aspiring to work, in a bookkeeping position to gain an understanding of the processing role. 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 book keeping. This course will be delivered with the aid of e-learning materials and regular remote meetings with an Accounting tutor.
The course is due to start in April 2025.
The course covers:
"Introduction to Bookkeeping" - you will learn how to set up bookkeeping systems, process customer transactions, process supplier transactions, process receipts and payments and process transactions into the ledger accounts.
"Principles of Bookkeeping Controls" - you will learn use of control accounts, reconcile a bank statement with the cash book, use the journal and produce trial balances.
Non-completion of the course (including the taking of examinations) or failure to attend 3 consecutive sessions without notification or good reason may result in a charge of £185.
Entry requirements
Unlike other qualifications there are no entry requirements with AAT and you don't need relevant work experience. This means that this course is ideal if you are leaving school, returning to work or thinking about a change in career.
Useful strengths include confidence with numbers, time management, attention to detail and an ability to problem solve.
