Premium adds more structured support. In addition to everything in Lite, you’ll receive regular tutor interaction, monthly group topic tutorials, and tutor feedback on your progress.
Premium Pro offers our highest level of support. Along with everything in Premium, you’ll get weekly group tutorial sessions, priority tutor responses, personalised feedback, and guidance. This tier also includes your AAT exam fees (at our nearest exam centre) making it the most comprehensive and convenient option.
All three tiers are available via monthly subscription to help you spread the cost.
All of our course tiers include high-quality learning materials designed to support your success. You’ll receive printed course books delivered to your door, full access to our user-friendly online learning platform, and a personalised Individual Learning Plan (ILP) to guide your studies. The platform hosts interactive resources, practice activities, and structured content mapped to the AAT syllabus—ensuring you stay on track and focused at every stage of your qualification.
There are no formal qualifications required to enrol on the AAT Level 2 and Level 3 Certificate in Bookkeeping course bundle. Therefore this is an ideal starting point for anyone new to finance or looking to change careers. However, we recommend the following for the best chance of success:
-
Basic numeracy skills – the ability to work with simple calculations and percentages.
-
Basic digital literacy – confidence using a computer and navigating online learning platforms or accounting software
-
A willingness to learn independently – especially if choosing the Lite or Premium package.
