Study online with a multi-award-winning specialist bookkeeping education provider
Want to become an AAT-qualified bookkeeper—on your own schedule?
Looking for a flexible, online course with award-winning tutor support?
At Training Link, we specialise in bookkeeping education, helping you gain the qualifications to form the foundation of your career and start it with confidence.
Enrol with a specialist bookkeeping education provider
We only offer 3 subjects- Accounting, Bookkeeping, and Payroll.
This means we laser focus on providing easy-to-follow AAT course materials and the gold standard of tutor support.
Everything is designed to help you succeed. The Training Link learning experience offers you the best chance of passing your exams, gaining your qualifications, and starting your career in Bookkeeping.
Everything you need to succeed is included
Everything in our course packages is designed to help you succeed.
We want to kick-start your Accounting career, so we only include things in our course packages to help you do that.
The study manuals are written by our tutors. We continually create extra study resources. Our online systems were designed specifically for accounting qualifications. And we have enough tutors to make sure you don’t wait long for a reply.
“But aren’t all AAT courses the same?”
No.
Just unwrap your Training Link study manuals and ruffle through the pages. Because the detail in Training Link’s courses far exceeds that found in books from most providers. And for good reason, because we’re trying to:
- get you through the AAT exams
- help you achieve the best marks
- make sure you can do the job
So we squeeze every last drop out of the study materials you’ll use. We want them to be the very best.
Everything you receive has been carefully constructed by our experienced (and in many cases award-winning) academic writers and tutors. And that means an obsessive eye for detail. Our tutors are constantly speaking with our students, so we learn how they progress through our course material so we can make revisions to improve what we offer you.
No gimmicks. Just exceptional AAT pass rates
Ultimately, what you and other students want is results – this is about real people gaining their qualifications and boosting their careers.
Pass rates are the real proof that our printed study material, online resources and exceptional tutor support work.
Here’s how we compare with the AAT’s worldwide average pass rates:
| Course Level | Worldwide Average | Training Link | +/- worldwide average | Assessment Numbers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AAT Level 2 Accounting | 77.1% | 91.5% |  +18.67% |
983 |
| AAT Level 3 Accounting | 68.6% | 86.4% | +25.9% |
638 |
| AAT Level 4 Accounting | 70.3% | 86.1% | +22.47% |

*Please note that the information in the above table refers to the pass rates based on computer-based assessments (CBAs) only; these are not achievement rates for the overall qualification. The pass rates shown are the rates for all CBAs completed between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025 and on the Q2022 standards.
