About this course

AAT Level 1 Bookkeeping Course in Poole. Classes run at the Dolphin Centre on Friday mornings, part-time over 15 weeks. Concessions are available, so fees may be lower for some learners. You'll cover manual and computerised bookkeeping routines, learning how to track money coming into and out of a business. No previous bookkeeping knowledge is needed. The level 1 AAT bookkeeping classes are a solid starting point for anyone looking to work in bookkeeping or accountancy.

Who this course is for

We have designed this course to support you with working in the bookkeeping and accountancy sector. Successful completion of this course will provide the skills and knowledge required for entry level job roles in bookkeeping. The Introduction Pathway to Bookkeeping is aimed at individuals who wish to begin their studies of bookkeeping and gain skills and knowledge at Level 1 from a point of no previous knowledge. It could also be used by those learners who have some practical knowledge and skills at this level and wish to revise said skills. Owners of small businesses may also find this course useful, as it gives coverage of keeping a single-entry book manual keeping system, suitable for the production of small business accounts and also acts as the underpinning knowledge of bookkeeping for the processing of financial transactions using a computerised accounting system.

This course is a pre-requisite for anyone wanting to progress to the Bookkeeping - Level 2 Pathway.
