They were only registered on 27th November 2012.
The site looks amateurish - I would avoid it. I am sure you can get better deals elsewhere.
I hope that some book keepers will reply and give factual information about the best courses and the likelihood of their leading to paid employment.Who having known the diamond will concern himself with glass?

You would be better off going with the ICB if you are working from home or AAT if you want to go into employment.0

Local colleges tend to do the AAT course. Not sure about IAB - I think it may be correspondence course.
Either way, don't expect to walk into a good job or self employment.
Book-keeping is one of those jobs where experience is equally important to qualifications. The theory is only part of it. So you'll probably have to look for a junior/trainee position to get your experience which will be lowly paid.
As for self employment, most small businesses want their book-keeper to do payroll, VAT returns, etc., so you need to be researching those aspects too, especially the CIS scheme and VAT flat rate scheme - not sure whether the book-keeping courses would include those topics.0 -
Looks like a load of twaddle to me. Lots of things ring alarm bells on that site. This is the site owner's personal get rich quick scheme.
Do proper bookkeeping training leading to recognised qualifications, such as AAT.Cash not ash from January 2nd 2011: £2565.:j

I have recently completed their standard course and found the tutor support very good, I had no bookkeeping experience but have now managed to pick up my first client.
They course had some examples of real bookkeeping jobs so not only did it cover theory but also real life jobs not just text book training
cant recommend it too much0 -
It is always amusing to us long timers when a new poster comes here to praise a company that knowledgeable people have expressed doubts about.Who having known the diamond will concern himself with glass?
