What the college says

This A Level Accountancy course encourages you to develop a knowledge and understanding of the purpose of accounting and its essential role in driving a business. Accountancy is sometimes referred to as the ‘language of business’ because it is the accountants who translate how a business is performing for people like investors, managers and regulators. Clearly, you will need to enjoy working with numbers and problem solving, but accountants are also frequently asked to give presentations and lead meetings so communications skills are a big strength if you’re pursuing this as your career choice. This challenging course contains the underlying skills and knowledge needed for professional accounting qualifications, so you will definitely know if your planned career is the one for you. There is a very good reason why accountants are well-paid – they work and study hard, so this is not a course for the faint hearted.
