Intro • “The course is interactive and interesting - it engages students and they enjoy doing it." • “Our students are finding the certificate a very helpful way of reinforcing their understanding of the nuts and bolts of accounting transactions. Building up a picture of how the information is pulled together. The other big advantage is that it is giving them a certifiable skill to convince employers of their employability in practical situations”. • We now have around 100 students registered - The question I am asked most frequently is - when will we be able to start!! • It was really nice website actually - very easy to use, lots of warnings if you miss a question and need to go back and review. I've seen lots of different online exams by different awarding bodies - some worse than others - but yours is really good! • “Having now completed what must be well over 30 hours of online coursework I can say that so far I have found it extremely easy to use, easy to follow, and easy to understand. • I especially like the links to the external study material, and I find the regular online self-tests and self assessments to be a really useful learning tool. • It gives me a sense of achievement when I see my answer sheets reflect those in the Answer Book, and where they haven’t done so I have been able to easily refer back to where I have gone wrong, improve on my studies, and correct my mistakes”. • “I found the training materials to be excellent, they were easy to follow and understand. I believe that this form of learning is ideal for anyone seeking a career”. • “I was worried that I might struggle with the learning material. However after reading the first few chapters I realised this wouldn’t be a problem. The textbooks are very easy to read and all accounting concepts are explained clearly and concisely.” Sage Courses Feedback 13
