Many people think Accounting is boring and dull, but with the right insights it’s exciting, even fascinating. It’s all down to understanding.
The fact is that Accounting, like engineering, is an exact science. A set of good accounts allow you to “check the pulse” of any business in the space of just a few minutes – half an hour at the most.
All businesses, whether in the public or private sector, massive conglomerates or small, one-man operations, mustbe profitable to survive. In simple terms, cash in must exceed cash out.
Accounting is the guiding economic principle behind any and all business transactions, and upon which all financial dealings are built.
In this superb Business Course (cornerstone of our brand new Business Professional Series) you will learn about Profit and Loss, Cash Flow Forecasts, Cost of Sales, Overhead Calculations, how to read a Balance Sheet,and much more. Your course materials help you understand Accounting and the financial principles underpinning every business in simple terms, but also in enough detail to be able to interpret standard business documents.
You won’t be the first student the course has helped to work out a realistic budget or sort out your personal or family’s finances. You might even have less month at the end of your money if you really pay attention!

About this course
The learning materials and accompanying tasks help you develop the necessary knowledge and confidence to successfully complete the tutor marked assignments.
The tasks encourage you to apply your knowledge and help you to develop relevant research and academic writing skills.
Anyone with a reasonable standard of general education will be able to cope with the academic demands.
If you can read and write well enough to complete a job application and have a good grasp of basic maths (add, subtract and divide) you should have no problems.
The learning materials are written in simple everyday language, and you complete the answers to your assignments in the same style. In addition to the comprehensive learning materials, you also receive a Study Guide to help you, and your Tutor provides support throughout.
A reasonable level of literacy is required, but there are no entry restrictions.
You just need a keen interest in the subject and will ideally have some knowledge of the subject or ancillary disciplines if you want to progress quickly. If you’ve previously studied business or law at school, or acquired a basic knowledge through experience at work, you may find you already have an advantage.
On successful completion of your studies, you receive two certificates as proof of study and development:
Certificate of Achievement from the Awarding Body (Focus Awards)
Certificate of Completion from Business Qualifications.
Focus Awards is regulated as an Awarding Organisation by Ofqual, the UK government’s qualification regulator for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Plenty of examples contained within the materials help you but using your initiative and carrying out personal research helps you gain a more complete understanding. In turn, this helps you answer the assignment questions more fully and speeds your progress.
