Course overview
Good bookkeeping is a habit before it is a skill. This programme builds both: the mechanics of recording transactions accurately, and the routines — filing, coding, reconciling, reviewing — that keep a set of books reliable month after month. Learners work through a full trading month on paper and then in a computerised system, so they understand what the software is doing rather than simply operating it.
Who this course is for
- Bookkeepers and accounts clerks
- Administrators with responsibility for the books
- Business owners keeping their own records
- Anyone preparing to move into accounting
