What the college says

The A Level Accounting course teaches students the fundamental basic building blocks of accounts that are used in all businesses. From understanding basic double entry, and the preparation of cashbooks, students will move onto preparing accounts from a trial balance for small business, and at the end of the course will be completing accounts for limited companies and learning to analyse both financial accounts as well as the management accounts used by businesses in their day to day running.

What you need to get on

Students must enjoy numbers and be comfortable using them. Even though the Accounting A level does not require students to be the greatest mathematicians, it is fundamental that students are confident in manipulating percentages and ratios. In addition, the abstract nature of accounting requires the ability to rote learn rules and remember complex presentational layouts. Given the demands of the course a minimum of a level 5 grade in Maths at GCSE is required, or alternatively a student can follow the course with a level 4 grade in Maths but will also be required to have achieved two 5 grades in science.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
