Manual BK Level 2
Permalink Closed

biggrin Hi guys,

It's been a while.  I initially asked about the level 1 manual bookkeeping exam last year and I got some really good responses.  So thank you very much for your support. 

I got in touch with the ICB asking them how much it costs to sit the level 2 now (due to the vat increase) and to my shock they said it is £60.00.  When I purchased this course a year ago it was £25.00 for each exam.  I am currently unemployed and now have to do a saving plan for this exam.  Can they just to that?

Oh by the way, I tried the solar accounts package and it seems pretty straightforward.  My goal is to work for myself so I think that I would use that package.  I have Sage Line 50 experience but that package is too expensive especially whenyour starting out.  Are there any other packages similar to the Sage Line 50 at a fraction of the price?

Hi, re: Sage
To start out you could always start on instant - approx £90 without support. This would work perfect for a small company with no stock or dept.
you could stay on this until find a 2nd customer and then you would have to upgrade to L50 2 company license.

There is SageOne if you would like cloud system.

Otherwise - cheaper packages as you say.

With regards to exam prices, I sat Level 2 manual at Pearson Vue last year and it was £55 - are you not getting mixed up with Computerised Level 2 exam which was £25?

Hi

They said that it was £60.00 because you can now get your results straightaway at the test centre. I will double check though. Thanks.

I think I would pay more to get my result straight away, to save the agony lol.

Also, I think there is something on the site about having to sit the comp and man level 2 before Sept 2011 in respect of the membership you can have.
