Do you want to study a subject that gives you access to an exciting financial career?

Are you interested in learning the basics of finance to help you make informed decisions about money?

In that case, T Level Accounting will always be a useful qualification, whether you use the skills for personal finances, or in a job, helping to make business decisions. This course, equivalent to three A levels, covers the underpinning knowledge, concepts and skills that support threshold competence in the accountancy industry.

It includes a 45-day industry placement and is assessed by two externally-set core examinations and an employer set project.

You’ll learn about a wide range of accounting tasks, from report preparation to ledger maintenance, bank statement reconciliation and cash flow forecasting.

When you undertake the T Level in Accounting you will also complete the Assistant Accountant occupational specialism component as part of this technical qualification. This will prepare you for a career as an assistant accountant, supporting qualified accountants in the business and finance sectors.

What Our
Students Say

The support I received from passionate teachers who pushed me to aim higher, to the tailored guidance with university applications made all the difference. SFX believed in my potential even when I doubted myself, and that encouragement gave me the confidence to pursue my ambitions. Without that foundation, I don’t think I’d be on the path to a legal career today.
