Book-Keeping Level 2 – Module 1
Course Outline
People with strong book-keeping skills are always in demand. This course is designed to give you an advantage over others with less experience, teaching you double-entry book-keeping.
Our book-keeping training is covered by eight lessons and unlike some book-keeping courses, our flexible, self-study methods mean you’re in charge of your progress.
The book-keeping course leaves you with a handy workbook as a reference guide.
This course is the starting point if you also want to learn computerised accounts, so you may also like to consider one of our Finance Diplomas or the Essential Book-keeping Award which are both highly respected by employers and can help take your career to the next level.
This course also covers part of the OCR Level 2 book-keeping examination requirements. Taking this and also Modules 2 and 3 will enable you to go on and gain a valuable AAT qualification – the ‘AAT Level 2 Certificate in bookkeeping’.
This course is the perfect starting point for anyone who wants a career working either as an accounts assistant or book-keeper. It may also be useful to anyone working self-employed who wants to manage their own accouting records.
The course covers, among many other aspects of manual book-keeping, the double entry system, the basics of VAT, checking invoices for accuracy, day books, general ledger, purchase ledger and sales ledger, petty cash books and balancing ledger accounts.
The guideline learning time for this course is approximately 22 hours.
