Hello, I am wating to start up my own bookkeeping business but am very confused about the different courses on offer. What I am thinking of doing is the Bookcert course but as there is no formal qualification am then thinking of also doing the AAT ABC course....any thoughts???
I was in the same position last year. I purchased the AAT ABC course through BPP.com and found it very good. I took the CBE at my local BPP college and was lucky to scrape through (it was pretty tough). I would say though that if you have no practical experience at all then even after taking the AAT exam you would still struggle to prepare clients books and VAT returns. I got a part-time job in industry using Sage Line 50 which has been great experience. Best of luck.
