About this course

AAT Level 3 Accounting Course in Southwark. Evening classes run at Kaplan London Bridge, so you can fit study around your existing work. The course may be funded through a Government Apprenticeship. For other learners, fees may apply through a payment plan. You'll cover advanced bookkeeping, final accounts, cost accounting records, and ethical practices for accountants. The course runs over 8 days of classroom sessions. Entry requirements include a Level 3 qualification such as an A Level or a Key Stage 5 Technical Certificate. This level 3 aat accounting qualification builds on the AAT Level 2 Foundation Certificate.

Who this course is for

Kaplan's Advanced Diploma in Accounting covers a range of complex accounting tasks, including maintaining cost accounting records and the preparation of reports and returns.

It is ideally suited for someone who has completed the Level 2 Foundation Certificate, someone who perhaps works in an accounts department at an intermediate level and wants to develop their accounting skills or someone who is looking to change their career. It is also an excellent A Level alternative.The Advanced Diploma is made up of 4 separately examinable units plus a synoptic assessment. Within the synoptic assessment you will be tested on two additional units, Ethics for Accounting and Spreadsheet for Accounting, as well as on the knowledge you've gained from the 4 underpinning units. You must have completed your studies for all separately examinable units before you attempt the synoptic assessment.
