About this course

Level 3 Bookkeeping Course in Waltham Forest. Evening classes run at Waltham Forest College Forest Road, part-time over 26 weeks. This level 3 bookkeeping qualification builds on Level 2 bookkeeping knowledge, though no formal entry requirements apply. If you have existing bookkeeping experience and want a recognised bookkeeping certificate, this course suits that too. You'll cover more advanced bookkeeping topics and develop the skills employers look for in finance roles. A good next step toward accounting and bookkeeping work.

Who this course is for

This course package is aimed at those looking to gain a recognised bookkeeping qualification and is the natural follow-on from the Level 2 AAT Bookkeeping qualification. Also, if you are an experienced bookkeeper and looking to gain a recognised qualification this is a suitable option for you.

Online: video lectures are available on demand, and can be viewed from your phone, tablet or computer, meaning you can choose how, when and where you want to study. Each lesson lasts around 45 minutes and is accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life. Exercises, interactive case studies and analytical tools help to enhance the learning experience further.

On campus: you benefit from regular college classes – without having to commit to attending multiple evenings each week. Experienced tutors will discuss and reinforce what you have learnt during your online study and are on hand to provide guidance on progress and assessment. Discussion and debate with classmates will help you apply theories to situations you face in the workplace.
