Bookkeeping course

Many thanks for your replies and advice. I totally understand how hands on experience would help. Part of my job involves basic accounts administration and hopefully I can get more involved, if I decide to take the courses.

I did AAT when I was younger not to get a job but to have paper qualifications. I have been employed in booking positions for quite a while. The only comment I might make is although you can learn the theory on a course I really learned to do the job by experience working for different companies and learning from the qualified accountants there.

My DIL does accounts for several small businesses it pays very well it’s flexible, very family friendly. The only limitation is you have to have a head for figures (she has) mistakes can take days to correct. It’s something you cannot learn you can either “see” columns of figures or you can’t.

My cousin did it and now works for herself. She seems to have done very well with it. She’s been bookkeeping now for around 10 years.
We aren’t close, so I can’t really add any more!
Good luck!
