The T Level in accounting is a high quality, career focused qualification that combines classroom learning with real workplace experience. Equivalent to three A levels, this course is perfect for students who enjoy numbers, problem solving, and working towards a professional career in finance or accounting.

The course starts with a strong focus on business in year 1, giving you a solid understanding of how organisations operate before you specialise. You’ll explore how businesses make decisions, manage money, operate ethically, and use technology to succeed.

This business first year covers key areas such as finance, law, ethics, and digital systems, and includes an introduction to SAGE accounting software to begin building your accounting skills. In year 2, you move into the occupational specialism Assistant Accountant, applying your business knowledge to real accounting tasks. You’ll gain hands on experience preparing financial statements, analysing business performance, and supporting tax, audit, and payroll functions. You’ll use SAGE software for more advanced, practical activities that reflect real workplace expectations.

Alongside exams and an employer set project, you’ll complete a 315 hour industry placement, giving you valuable experience in a professional environment. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident, work ready, and prepared for employment, apprenticeships, or further study in accounting, finance, or business.
