AAT Level 2 Foundation Certificate in Accounting

Take your career to the next level with the AAT Level 2 Foundation Certificate in Accounting

Here at Accountancy Learning we specialise in distance learning delivery, so you can study the AAT Foundation (L2) Certificate in Accounting course from your own home at flexible times that suit you, your family, and any other commitments such as a full-time job.

This course represents the typical starting point for those who wish to work in an accounting role in practice or industry. It’s also an excellent qualification for those who are already working in finance but would like recognition of their skills. The course will introduce you to manual double-entry bookkeeping skills including associated documents and processes, up to Trial Balance standard. It also includes key units (modules) on Cost Accounting and Computerised Accounting.

Entry Requirements: You don’t need any prior accounting qualifications, skills, knowledge, or experience to get started (although good basic numeracy and literacy skills are needed).

Following successful completion of the AAT Level 2 Foundation Certificate, you can progress onto any of the AAT Advanced qualifications.

The AAT Foundation (L2) Certificate in Accounting Overview

The Foundation (Level 2) Certificate in Accounting consists of four unit assessments and one synoptic assessment:

  • Bookkeeping Transactions (BTRN)
  • Bookkeeping Controls (BKCL)
  • Elements of Costing (ELCO)
  • Using Accounting Software (UACS)
  • Synoptic Assessment (FSYA)
    – Incorporating ‘Work Effectively in Finance’ (WEFN)

The package you choose will be determined by the level of coaching and tutor support you think you’ll need to help you successfully complete your course.

  • Self-Study EXTRA package – Studying via our Self-Study EXTRA package, means that you will have full access to all of our learning materials. Our resources include Progress Tests, Practice Assessments, and Mock Exams, which you will be expected to complete during your course. Don’t panic though, as we will provide you with all the answers so that you can mark your own work. If you get stuck along the way though e.g. with a topic or study task, the only thing you will not be able to do is to ask a tutor to help you with it! However, the good news is that you can upgrade to a tutor-supported package at any time, as needed.
  • Tutor supported package – Students enrolled on our Tutor Supported package are assigned a dedicated personal tutor. Your personal tutor is there to help, guide and coach you during your course, and… you can contact them as many times as you like. Your personal tutor will also contact you on a regular basis to help ensure you keep on track (and nag you if necessary!)Your personal tutor will also mark and provide feedback on all the Progress Tests and Practice Assessments you submit to them – this is a vital aspect of the course as it will help both you and us determine when you are ready to start sitting your exams.
  • Tutor supported PLUS – Our Tutor Supported PLUS is an ‘all inclusive’ package. So, in addition to the course materials and unlimited tutor support, this package includes all the extra costs, such as AAT admission fees, exam fees, and exam invigilation (administration) fees. On top of that, we have a PASS PLUS GUARANTEE for all our StandardPLUS students – with our exceptionally high pass rates, it is highly unlikely that you would need to re-sit an exam, but just in case you don’t pass the first time, we’ll cover all the costs for you! (Terms and conditions apply.)
