Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know — if you can't find your answer here, get in touch with our admissions team.

No prior knowledge is required. The course teaches accounting principles from the fundamentals, building skills progressively. A good level of numeracy from IGCSE Mathematics is sufficient.

No, Accounting focuses on financial record-keeping, reporting, and analysis rather than abstract mathematics. While numerical skills are important, the emphasis is on understanding and applying accounting principles.

A-Level Accounting provides a strong foundation for professional qualifications such as ACCA, ACA, CIMA, and CPA. It also supports university applications for accounting and finance degrees.

Assessment is through written papers that test both practical accounting skills (preparing financial statements, calculations) and theoretical understanding (analysis, interpretation, and evaluation).
