Aat certificate in bookkeeping level 2

3. Entry requirements AAT does not set any formal entry requirements for the study of the AAT Foundation Certificate in Bookkeeping.  However, for the best chance of success, it is recommended that students should have a good standard of English and Maths before starting the course with a GCSE at grade C in both subjects, or equivalent.  If you do not have formal qualifications in English and Maths, please discuss your situation with the course tutor during your interview. Note: Any student who has been involved in bankruptcy proceedings, IVA or other arrangements with creditors should contact AAT before enrolling on the course.  Such arrangements will not normally prevent you from studying AAT, however it may not be possible for you to sit assessments until the arrangements have expired.   4. Equipment required The course fee includes all tuition and the cost of your first attempt at each assessment.  You will need to buy textbooks costing approximately £40 and your tutor will tell you what textbooks to buy at the start of the course.  Before you can sit any assessments you will need to register with AAT, at a cost of approximately £40.  We recommend that you register as early as possible as this will give you access to the many study resources provided by AAT.  Should you need to re-sit any assessments, you will need to pay a re-sit fee of approximately £40 per assessment. You will need to bring paper, pens and pencils and a calculator to each class.  You will also need a large folder, such as a lever-arch file, to keep your handouts and notes in good order. 5. Assessment method During weekly classes your tutor will introduce you to the skills and knowledge needed for each unit, using a variety of resources including lectures, handouts and e-learning via the college virtual learning environment.  Time in class will always include the completion of practice questions to consolidate knowledge, and this will be reinforced by home study.  Homework will be set most weeks, and you will also need to allow time for reading and working through questions in your textbooks. Regular attendance in class is essential to maximise your chance of success. The AAT Foundation Certificate in Bookkeeping is assessed by online examinations which will be taken at stages through the course. Your assessment will be assessed as ‘competent’ or ‘not yet competent’ and you will receive your result at the end of the examination.
