About this course

AAT Level 2 Bookkeeping Course in Redhill. Classes run at East Surrey College on Tuesday evenings, 6pm to 9pm. The course runs for 14 weeks, so you can fit study around work or other commitments. You'll cover bookkeeping transactions and bookkeeping controls, building solid double-entry skills from scratch. No previous bookkeeping or accounting experience is required.

Entry requirements

Students joining the Level 2 Certificate course are not required to have any previous experience of bookkeeping or accounting. However, an aptitude for working with numbers is an advantage, plus a good command of the English language. Due to the nature of the assessments, candidates may be required to complete an English language skills test.

Students progressing from AAT Access to Accounting Level 1.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom at East Surrey College, with a tutor guiding you through each topic. Assessment is through AAT online assessments. If you don't pass an assessment first time, you can resit, though a resit fee applies. Because assessments are computer-based, you'll need to be comfortable using a computer and the internet.

What you will need to bring
