AAT Level 1 Access Award in Bookkeeping

An access award is an entry-level qualification (level 1) that provides students with introductory knowledge of business, finance and bookkeeping in order to develop their skills before advancing onto higher level AAT qualifications.

This AAT Level 1 Access Award in Bookkeeping course is ideal for those with minimal previous work experience, students wishing to advance their knowledge and career in bookkeeping and progress onto further AAT courses, or self-employed students who wish to aid their own business.

All course materials will be delivered to you by post, so it couldn’t be easier. Our experienced and friendly tutors will help you every step of the way by email.

As well as your AAT course materials and tutor support, you can choose to add on your assessments and include the examination fees required to successfully complete your course and gain your AAT qualification.

Assessment

The qualification is assessed through two tutor-marked assessments and then an external end-of-qualification exam. This computer-based assessment is to be sat under controlled conditions at an external examination centre. Your tutor will help you to decide when you are ready to take the assessments.
