Course Information for Students
Who is this course for?
This is a fantastic opportunity to study bookkeeping as a short course or as part of a series of courses alongside the Access Award in Bookkeeping, the Access Award in Accounting Software and the Foundation Award in Accounting Software. These courses can be studied back-to-back over a year or alternatively you can take individual courses based on what you want.
The Foundation Certificate in Bookkeeping is a 12-week programme with end-of-unit exams that delivers the skills and essential knowledge to manage books effectively. It includes manual double entry bookkeeping, and associated documents and processes, up to Trial Balance standard. It is a perfect way to learn more about bookkeeping.
Entry Requirements
There are no formal entry requirements, though a Level 1 qualification or equivalent in Maths would be an advantage.
What will you learn?
The qualification is composed of two mandatory units, assessed in two end-of-unit assessments:
Bookkeeping Transactions
- Bookkeeping Controls
A student completing this qualification will develop practical accountancy skills in the double-entry bookkeeping system and in using associated documents and processes.
Students will be able to check transactions for accuracy, make entries in appropriate books and ledgers, and calculate sales invoices and credit notes. They will also cover more complex foundation level bookkeeping procedures, including dealing with VAT, reconciliation and trial balances, and will develop their understanding of the relationship between the various accounting records.
