A level Accounting

A level Accounting by distance learning - the course

The A level Accounting course is made up of two major components – AS level and A2 level. The AS level is a qualification in its own right and may be studied for on a one-year distance learning course.

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.

The course includes fourteen Tutor-marked Assignments (known as TMAs), seven in the AS course and seven in the A2.

The course is arranged in four modules, reflecting the new four module examination structure of A levels.

Accounting AS level

• Introduction to Financial Accounting
• Financial and Management Accounting

Accounting A2 level
