Hello,
I am thinking about taking some courses (either bookkeeping or accounting... still looking into it all) and OU is one option but it is quite pricey so I am looking into other distance learning options as well.
I wasn't sure how I would do with distance learning but I have done an IT Level 2 Course with Vision2Learn followed by their Business and Admin course which I just completed and I did just fine.
Anyway first question is... when I googled bookkeeping qualifications I came across bookkeepers. org. uk (Institute of Certified Bookkeepers) now is this a legit thing?
Sorry I am not very in the know about UK institutions.
They have links to course providers, one of them being Training-Link. co.uk has anyone heard of them, worked with them? Are they legit/accredited/worth doing?
Thank you!

Nothing?
Well I signed up to an intro to Bookkeeping with them and will let you know how it goes in case anyone else is interested.0 -
Stick to AAT, they do a bookkeeping course.
TBH dont go wild on qualifications, you really need the experience then start going for the higher qualifications.
P.S I laughed when I just noticed you giving everyone 8 minutes to respond at 07:08 AM :rotfl:0 -
Try Open University or AAT as above.ally.0

The OU do a lot of free courses don't they.
Not sure whether any of them would be what you want. But worth checking out.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
