This popular course provides the perfect theoretical background for someone planning a career in Accountancy but it’s also an invaluable course if you’re planning to study other business-related subjects. At the end of the course you should be able not only to produce final accounts but also interpret a wide variety of financial documents.
The Accounting A level course includes 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 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 – seven in the AS course and seven in the A2 – and covers the four modules below.
AS
UNIT 1 – Introduction to Financial Accounting.
UNIT 2 – Financial and Management Accounting.
A2
UNIT 3 – Further Aspects of Financial Accounting.
UNIT 4 – Further Aspects of Management Accounting.
This course prepares candidates for the AQA Accounting AS level syllabus 1121, for examination in 2015 and later examination series. Most candidates will then study the A2 syllabus 2121. The full Advanced level qualification comprises AS and A2. We have chosen this syllabus as it is the most suited for distance learning.
The exam consists of four written papers (Units ACCN1, ACCN2, ACCN3 and ACCN4), each counting towards 25% of the overall grade. The AS exams are both 1 hour 30 minutes long, and the A2 exams are both 2 hours long.
