Distance Learning Accounting A Level - The Course

The Accounting A level course is split into two major components - AS and A2. The AS level distance learning course can be sat in its own right.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions.

There are thirteen tutor-marked assignments (known as TMAs).

Key Topics Covered

The course offers a choice for the first unit so altogether there are seven modules to cover the six exam units, with the following titles:

• The Accounting Information System, or

• Introduction to Published Accounts of Limited Companies

• Financial Accounting 

• Management Accounting

• Further Aspects of Financial Accounting

The Syllabus

This course prepares candidates for the AQA Accounting AS level syllabus 5121, for examination in 2006 and later years. Most candidates will then study the A2 syllabus 6121. The full Advanced Level qualification comprises AS and A2. We have chosen this syllabus as it is the most suited for distance learning.

Assessment is by six written papers of equal weighting.
