Students will be expected to match the hours taught in the classroom with private study and to complete any homework set. There will be regular testing of knowledge in the classroom.

    The final level covers higher level accounting tasks, including drafting financial statements, managing budgets and evaluating financial performance. You'll also have the opportunity to specialise in areas from tax and credit control.
