AAT Foundation CertificateBookkeeping (Level 2)

Yes! We’re an award-winning AAT centre, and we’ve been pioneers in flexible learning for 130 years.

We’re the UK’s most trusted online AAT provider, with a Trustpilot rating of 4.8/5 from more than 4000 independent reviews.

The Foundation Certificate in Bookkeeping is perfect if you have no or minimal bookkeeping experience, or if you haven't yet mastered essential skills like double-entry bookkeeping.

The Advanced Certificate in Bookkeeping is ideal if you have a firm grasp on all the topics covered on the Foundation Certificate, including double-entry bookkeeping. Our AAT course guides include a detailed breakdown of the topics covered in each course.

Bookkeeping covers only one small area of accounting. If you’d like a broader financial skillset and more varied job opportunities, our AAT Accounting Foundation Certificate, Advanced Diploma, or Professional Diploma could be for you.

AAT graduates are in high demand by employers for their practical, hands-on accounting skills.
