AAT Level 1 Access Award in Bookkeeping

Course duration

This course will take you approximately 84 hours to complete, 45 of which are proposed guided learning hours. To allow you to study at your own pace, you will have up to six months to complete your course which is more than enough time.

Assessments

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

Booking your assessments

You can choose to add your exams on to your enrolment. If you choose this option, we will book and pay for your exams for you. Our partner exam centres for students choosing to book their exams through us are based in Birmingham or Irthlingborough near Northampton. When choosing to add your exams to your enrolment, it is important to note that we are only able to book your exams at the specified centres in either Birmingham or Irthlingborough, and therefore, you must be prepared to travel to one of those centre to complete your exam.

Alternatively, if you choose not to add your assessments to your enrolment, you will need to book and pay for these separately.

Study method

Once you have enrolled, you will receive all course materials by post. You will study this course through distance learning, which will enable you to learn when and where you want. You can study from home or at work; it is completely up to you.

You will also receive unlimited tutor support via email for six months.

Once you have registered with AAT for your student membership, you will have access to their library of online resources and additional support materials, including sample assessments to help you prepare for your exams.

Course outcome

Once you have successfully completed your tutor-marked assessments and exam, you will receive an AAT Level 1 Access Award in Bookkeeping from The Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT).
