Students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to carry out typical bookkeeping transactions and tasks in two mandatory units. The qualification is composed of two mandatory units, assessed in two end-of-unit assessments:

• Introduction to bookkeeping
• Principles of bookkeeping controls

A student completing this qualification will develop practical accountancy skills in the double-entry bookkeeping system and in using associated documents and processes. Students will be able to check transactions for accuracy, make entries in appropriate books and ledgers, and calculate sales invoices and credit notes. They will also cover more complex Foundation level bookkeeping procedures, including dealing with VAT, reconciliation and trial balances, and will develop their understanding of the relationship between the various accounting records.

Students must successfully complete two unit assessments to achieve this qualification. The assessments in this qualification are computer based with a time restriction. Students will be presented with a range of question types and formats in the assessment. These may include multiple-choice questions, numeric gap-fill questions, or question tools that replicate workplace activities, such as making entries in a journal. In some assessments, questions will require a written answer.
