Why Study This Course?
This course is suitable for those who want to develop their numeracy skills to support their development as an accountant or bookkeeper.
Advanced expertise in mathematics is not required to succeed as a bookkeeper or an accountant. What is needed, however, is the confidence and ability to be able to add, subtract, multiply, divide as well as use decimals, fractions and percentages. Competent bookkeepers and accountants should be able to use mental calculations as well as a calculator to perform these numerical skills.
Good numeracy skills may unlock job opportunities within accountancy and lead to higher wages or prepare you for further study.
