Frequently Asked Questions

Which accounting course is best?

The best course depends on your professional background, current career stage, and career goals. Understanding where you are and where you want to go will help you choose the right path. If you are new to accounting, AAT offers an excellent entry point. CIMA is a fantastic starting point if you have some experience and want to become a Chartered or Management Accountant.

Can I learn accounting in 3 months?

Completing accounting courses for beginners will still take longer than 3 months. For instance, the AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting usually takes 6 to 9 months, depending on your pace and schedule.

What level of AAT should I start at?

If you have no accounting experience, starting with AAT Level 2 is recommended. If you have some experience or previous studies in finance or bookkeeping, you can begin at AAT Level 3 or even Level 4.

What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

Bookkeeping involves recording financial transactions, such as sales and expenses. Accounting goes beyond this by analysing, interpreting, and reporting financial data to support strategic business decisions.

What are the golden rules of accounting?

The three golden rules of financial accounting are:

  • Debit all expenses and losses, and credit all incomes and gains.
  • Debit the receiver, credit the giver.
  • Debit what comes in, credit what goes out.
