Accounting Course
About the Level 3 Accounting Certificate
It is an accountant’s job to monitor a company’s or an individual’s finances. In order to do this, they must keep a close eye on each and every transaction made by their employer, and monitor all payments which are received. Accountants are also responsible for dealing with tax returns and making sure that the individual or the company are acting inside the law.
This course has been designed as an introduction to accounting; teaching students the importance of accounting when it comes to business. During the course of this Level 3 distance learning programme, Stonebridge College learners will study everything from profits and losses to ratio analysis and how to deal with debt.
Who should study this course?
This qualification has been aimed at anyone who wants to pursue a career in accounting or finance. It is also worth noting that this home study course may come in useful for small business owners who need to manage their own accounts, or those who are employed on a freelance basis.
Students will not need any prior knowledge of accounting before they enrol. Neither will they need any proof of prior qualifications. All we ask is that our learners have a way to access our online modules and the motivation to study in their own time.
What happens after the course?
On successful completion of the work, our students will be awarded a certificate in accounting at Level 3. They will also have a fundamental understanding of how accounting works and will be able to apply this knowledge in a real life situation.
In order to become a chartered accountant, you must first take an ACCA, CIMA or ACA accredited qualification. In order to take this you will need five secondary school qualifications. Alternative career paths related to this course include:
Credit controller
Financial advisor
Accounts assistant
