Should I start at Level 2 or 3?
Some students may feel that they have suitable experience to start at Level 3. We require all students to complete a minimum of the Level 2 Certificate in Bookkeeping before they commence Level 3. We recommend that students take the AAT Skill Check (http://www.aatskillcheck.org/home.aspx) and then discuss the results of the check with us so that we can help you make the right choice.
