Free AAT Level 1 Bookkeeping Course in Southwark. Classes run at Southwark College Main Campus on evenings, so you can fit study around your week.
The course introduces the basics of manual bookkeeping. You'll cover how financial records are kept, how to process transactions, and how accounts are organised. It runs over 6 weeks part-time. Entry requires Level 1 in both English and Maths.
You'll finish with a Level 1 Award in Bookkeeping.
Students should choose to study the Level 1 Award in Bookkeeping if they wish to develop an understanding of the basics of manual bookkeeping. Students completing this qualification may wish to pursue careers in finance or business in either the private or public sectors. This qualification may be combined with the Level 1 Award in Business Skills to lay a strong foundation for further study with AAT in either accountancy or bookkeeping.
Students completing this qualification will develop an understanding of the role of the bookkeeper, including the need to produce timely and accurate work and to follow ethical principles. Students will learn underpinning theory including how to identify assets, liabilities, income, expenses, capital profit or loss, and the differences between trading for cash and trading on credit. Students will also develop the skills to process customer and supplier transactions, to enter receipts and payments into the cash book and check amounts against the bank statement in preparation for bank reconciliation. Students will be introduced to the dual effect of transactions. This is a fundamental underpinning concept for double-entry bookkeeping and will support students who go on to study bookkeeping at Level 2.
