The purpose of the Level 3 Certificate in Bookkeeping is to provide advanced bookkeeping skills to work in a bookkeeping role or progress to higher level accountancy roles. Students will develop Practical accounting skills in advanced bookkeeping, preparing financial statements, the documents and reports produced on payroll and the preparation of VAT returns. Upon successful completion you can apply to become an AAT Licensed Bookkeeper. 

 

The AAT Level 3 Certificate in Bookkeeping is made up of two modules in Preparing financial statements and tax processes:

Financial Accounting: Preparing Financial Statements (FAPS)

This unit provides students with the skills required to produce statements of profit or loss and statements of financial position for sole traders and partnerships using a trial balance. Students will learn about period end adjustments and reconciliations. They will also be able to interpret financial statements using profitability ratios.

Tax Processes for Businesses

This unit explores tax processes that influence the daily operations of businesses and is designed to develop student’s skills in understanding, preparing, and submitting Value Added Tax (VAT) returns to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The unit provides students with the knowledge and skills that are needed to keep businesses, employers, and clients compliant with laws and practices that apply to VAT and payroll.

We have invested in developing, what we feel is the next generation of learning resources for AAT. 

Specifically for the AAT Level 3 Certificate in Bookkeeping we have a live and on-demand offering:

Our delivery model for AAT is based on the flipped classroom methodology. 

That is, we provide you with a series of pre-recorded AAT Topic related bite size videos which go through, explain and illustrate the syllabus being examined. After each Topic there is a Checkpoint (online assessment with instant results) to test what you have just learnt, allowing you to track your learning, analyse your performance and identify any areas you need to revisit. 

We ask you to watch these Topic recordings and complete the Checkpoints before you engage with our recorded Masterclass content (videos focusing on application of knowledge) that are integrated into your overall schedule of work. 

In addition to all of the HTFT Partnership created content and resources, we send out the AAT approved Study Text, Exam Kit and Pocket Notes – which you can use as additional study resources. 

  

live 

Our live course means you follow a set timetable and attend online sessions 6:30-8:45pm midweek. We expect you to work through the relevant Topic recordings and Checkpoints in preparation for these Masterclasses. The timetabled live Masterclasses (timetables on the right hand side) is time with your dedicated tutor focusing on an application of knowledge and question practice, rather than re-teaching you content you will have developed by watching the pre-recorded videos. 

  

on-demand 

Our on-demand means you can access content anywhere and at any time. You drive the pace of your learning, completing the content in a timeframe that works for you. 

You will have access to our on-demand resources for 6 months from date of enrolment. 

*With HTFT on-demand you get immediate access to pre-recorded Topic videos covering syllabus content, in addition to be provided with the recordings of any live Masterclasses that take place 24 hours after the live timetabled dates.
