Computerised Accounts Sage Level 2

As an accountancy student we will work with you to develop the knowledge, skills and practical experience that you need to become a highly employable professional with an exceptional future ahead of you.

The course will cover the setting up of accounts in all three ledgers, entering opening balances, data and balancing accounts; changing existing nominal codes and adding new ones; dealing with depreciation accruals and prepayments and other periodical payments; bank reconciliations and producing relevant reports for all three ledgers.

In addition you will produce reports relevant to final accounts (trial balance, profit and loss and balance sheet). You will also be expected to be aware of the need for passwords and security procedures, plus health and safety requirements.

Initially there will be a one day introduction to book keeping for you to get an idea of what computerised accounts is based on and setting up the structure of the rest of the course. The main course is 36 hours over 6 days finalised with an online exam.

Qualification when successful in the final exam is an IAB Level 2 book keeping computerised accounts.

An understanding of manual accounts is essential (double entry) together with a sound educational background in maths and English. Keyboard skills would be an advantage.

Applicants will be invited to attend an interview

You'll be able to progress to a computerised accounts level 3 course.

You will have to have a thirst for learning and be prepared to work outside your guided lessons. As part of the course you are expected to develop an ability to keep yourself up to date with the latest development in the subject area.

Final assessment is by examination only. There is no course work to complete but you will be assessed in class periodically to establish understanding and learning.
Whole class and group work activities will take place but the majority of your learning will be ‘stand alone’.

Teaching on the course is done by industry professionals that have years of experience in accounting and with the Sage software
