The purpose of the Advanced Certificate in Bookkeeping is to ensure that students have the advanced skills necessary to work in a bookkeeping role or to progress to higher level accountancy. Students will develop skills and knowledge required to complete complex bookkeeping transactions while gaining an understanding of the advanced bookkeeping principles and concepts, issues around indirect tax (VAT) and how to prepare financial statement. This will all be learnt within the context of the ethical issues that a bookkeeper may encounter in their professional life.
The AAT Advanced Certificate in Bookkeeping develops existing skills and knowledge to an advanced level
for anyone wishing to pursue a career in bookkeeping.
The AAT Advanced Certificate in Bookkeeping offers progression for those who already have bookkeeping
knowledge at Foundation level, either to gain employment in a bookkeeping role or to further study. This
qualification is suitable for those who have completed the AAT Foundation Certificate in Bookkeeping and
may help students already working in a bookkeeping role to progress by offering them formal recognition of
their skills. The AAT Advanced Certificate in Bookkeeping is open to those who are working and those who
are not currently in employment.
The qualification is composed of three mandatory units, assessed in three end-of-unit assessments – Advanced Bookkeeping, Final Accounts Preparation and Indirect Tax.
This is a classroom-based course with approximately two sessions per week for the first two months, followed by one session per week for the remainder of the course (days vary). Times are 09:30 – 16:00 each day and a full schedule can be provided upon request.
Please note that all prospective learners will need to attend an Enrolment/Induction Session where acceptance onto the course will be confirmed – dates are available in late July and throughout August.
