About this course

The aim of this course is to provide learners with an introduction to bookkeeping practices and to process source documents that underpin accurate record keeping. It is ideal for those who are working in or are looking to gain employment in a job role such as Accounts Trainee or Finance Clerk. You will develop and practice basic bookkeeping skills required for employment and/or career progression in the accounting sector. You will gain knowledge and an understanding of the related AAT Foundation Level 2, Level 2 NVQ in Accounting and the City & Guilds Level 1 Award in Bookkeeping and Accounts.

Information about bookkeeping practices will be shared through explanation, demonstration and group discussions. Learners will receive a variety of documentation to process so they will be able to learn, develop and practice basic bookkeeping skills required for employment.

Course topics include operating a petty cash system, completing and checking documentation, maintaining day books, posting from source documents to balance off ledger accounts (sales, purchases and general ledger) and extracting a trial balance.

Learners will need access to a basic calculator and an email address. Although handouts and financial documentation will be provided, a pen and paper or other suitable device to make notes will be useful.

One hour of self-study time will be beneficial to the learner in addition to weekly attendance on the course.
