Who should choose to study this AAT Level 1 qualification?

This qualification will particularly suit those students who have had minimal work experience or those who need some additional support to progress. This may include younger students seeking tangible and finance-specific skills, adults seeking to validate their existing skills to enter into or progress in their careers, or students who would like to test their abilities before progressing further with AAT.

This qualification may also interest those who are self-employed or working in small businesses and wish to do their own bookkeeping.

What does the qualification cover?

This qualification covers a range of skills and the relevant supporting knowledge in one mandatory unit:

Bookkeeping Fundamentals

Students completing this qualification will develop an understanding of the role of the bookkeeper, including the need to produce timely and accurate work and to follow ethical principles.

Students will learn underpinning theory including how to identify assets, liabilities, income, expenses, capital profit or loss, and the differences between trading for cash and trading on credit.

Students will also develop the skills to process customer and supplier transactions, enter receipts and payments into the cash book and check amounts against the bank statement in preparation for the bank reconciliation. Students will be introduced to the dual effect of transactions.
