The Accounting Certificate Level 2 is suitable for those looking to acquire the skills needed to move into a career in finance. The course provides a firm foundation in finance administration, covering areas such as double entry bookkeeping to basic costing principles and using accounting software. Students must successfully complete four-unit assessments and one synoptic assessment to achieve this qualification.

The four assessments are based upon the following themes:

- Introduction to Bookkeeping
- Principles of Bookkeeping Controls
- Principles of Costing
- The Business Environment

Although the AAT does not set any prerequisites for the study of the AAT Accounting Certificate Level 2, we recommend that applicants have obtained GCSE Maths and GCSE English at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent) to allow them to cope with the quantitative skills and technical language that they will encounter throughout the course.

On successful completion, the accountancy skills developed by studying this course will help you to seek employment with confidence, and/or progress to the next level of learning, such as the Level 3 Accounting Diploma.

The course may be funded if you are unemployed or earn under the low income threshold of £25,000

Additional costs:
- Resits if needed.
