About this course

Level 3 Bookkeeping Course in Waltham Forest. Classes run at Waltham Forest College Forest Road, full-time during the day. The course runs over 34 weeks and builds on Level 2 bookkeeping knowledge, though no formal entry requirements apply. You'll study advanced bookkeeping principles, preparing you for roles in accounting and bookkeeping. Online video lectures are available alongside classroom sessions, so you can revisit material at your own pace. This level 3 bookkeeping qualification suits those stepping up from a Level 2 course and experienced bookkeepers seeking a recognised credential.

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.
