Level 2 ‘A3’ Computerised Bookkeeping Self Study PLUS
Duration: 40–60 Hours
Level: 2
Exams: 1
A3 is the final Unit of the ICB Level 2 bookkeeping qualification
Our unique materials are completely up-to-date and mirror the Level 2 syllabus as set by the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB).
Tried and tested, and written by our very own course specialists, our self-study option is more than just a book. We also provide you with access to our online learning hub where you will find all of your study material, all available 24/7.
On top of that, all of the model answers are available online, enabling you to check your work as you progress through the unit.
Please note: This unit does not include software. Once purchased, our team will be in touch to ask whether you would like this unit specific to Xero or Sage 50 Business Cloud. The materials sent will then reflect this option.
Need support?
Tutor support is often overlooked, and whilst it might not be needed at all times, isn’t it good to know that if push comes to shove, you have access to tutor support – Even on a self-study option?
That’s why we have created this option – Purchase tutor support when you need it – For one month…or longer, the choice is entirely yours!
You don’t need to decide now. See how you get on, and if you decide that a little support is needed, simply come back here and click the following link…
Need more?
Whilst we provide one auto-marked mock exam with all of our units, you might want further validation of your efforts by sitting a second mock paper, thereby giving you the best opportunity to pass your formal exam at the first sitting. This is where our personalised, detailed tutor-assessed mock exam pays dividends. Not only is this assessed by an award-winning tutor, but the feedback you receive will be personalised to your paper (not simply copy & pasted from a bank of generic responses). Again, no need to decide now; you can choose this option at any time

The ICB is the largest bookkeeping membership organisation in the world. There are over 150,000 students and members in over 100 countries.
ICB’s certification is based on exams and only the finest professionals are eligible for membership. Members need to maintain their status via Continuous Professional Development.
ICB’s rigorous standards give businesses the confidence that an ICB-certified Bookkeeper will have the highest standards. And that’s why it is a perfect pathway for anyone who wants to become a self-employed bookkeeper.
If you choose to sit the exam at the end of this unit, you would be required to have registered as a student with the ICB first. You would also be required to have sat and passed the ‘A1’ and ‘A2’ papers. You would then contact the ICB to book your exam.
