The ABC programme is a qualification designed to ensure students obtain a sound knowledge of bookkeeping. This suits a range of staff, whether they wish to progress to further study or just develop their bookkeeping skills in their current role. The ABC package is a self guided interactive package which teaches the essential bookkeeping skills in a flexible and affordable way.

The Finance Training team also provide 6 half day workshops (approximately every 3 weeks at Greenwich House). We help students understand the study modules, provide more practical examples and relate the syllabus to the University context.

The Certificate is achieved by passing a computer based exam following 3-4 months studying the ABC syllabus. This certification is the equivalent of passing the traditional AAT Foundation study course and is a recognised qualification in its own right and excellent preparation for the AAT Intermediate level.
