Learning Style:

There is a blended mix of classroom activities, computing work, realistic simulations and group work. Much of the learning material will be made available on the College's virtual learning environment (VLE) CityBit2, which is available from any Internet enabled computer in the world.

Equipment Requirements:

A calculator with standard + - X / % and a square root function is required and should be brought to every session. Home or work-based computing facilities for word processing and spread sheets will be useful, but not essential as all students will have access to the College IT facilities.

Students who can access the Internet will be able to use the CityBit2 material.

Assessment:

All units are assessed via computerised skills tests.

Progression:

As your career in accounting progresses you might move on to the Level 4 (Technician) AAT, and then perhaps to the certified and chartered accountant qualifications.
