Exams or no exams

On BBC News today, there are concerns over vocational courses that do not lead to formal examinations.

Bookkeeping, of course, is a vocational skill. It is also highly technical, though, and it makes perfect sense for students to demonstrate what they can do in writing. So most of the courses at the Accounting and Bookkeeping College lead to certified qualifications such as the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers Certificate of Manual Bookkeeping.

The Certificate of Manual Bookkeeping is ideal for accountants who want to prove to other people, such as employers, that they have bookkeeping skills. Many of our students, however, are simply anxious to learn bookkeeping so that they can run a business effectively and our ABC of Bookkeeping course is ideal for them.
