Bookkeeping to OCR Level 1

This combination of courses is designed for individuals who wish to gain bookkeeping skills to Level 1 of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).  There are both manual bookkeeping and computerised bookkeeping options to choose from. Sage accounting software is taught and used for the computerised bookkeeping units.


No previous knowledge of bookkeeping is necessary. However, where the computerised bookkeeping options are chosen, it is expected that students will have some prior experience of using computers, equivalent to that gained on our Computers for Beginners course.
