Progression / Careers
In the academic year 2007-08, the pass rate for A level Accounting was 100%, with 31% of students achieving a grade A overall and 92% of students achieving a grade between A and C.
Many students use the A2 Level Accounting qualification to gain a place at university on a business related course. Alternatively, successful students have gained employment in local accounting firms and are studying for the Association of Accounting Technician qualification.
Indeed, some students have decided to study for the AAT Intermediate Level alongside their A2 studies in the second year as part of their programme of studies with a view to a career in Accountancy when they finish their A Levels.
