The Level 2 Certified Learning Course in Bookkeeping (90 hours) is Lift College's online bookkeeping course for people starting from scratch. Six units take you from the first invoice to a balanced trial balance: the bookkeeper's role and business documents, double entry and the general ledger, sales and purchases with VAT, the cash book and bank reconciliation, control accounts and the journal, and bookkeeping software with Making Tax Digital. Each unit ends with a tutor-marked assignment on a real-style set of business records, and the course closes with one synoptic assignment in which you keep a small business's books for a full month. There are no exams and no placement. Most learners finish in 3 to 6 months at 4 to 6 hours a week. It is an endorsed course: endorsed courses are not regulated qualifications and are not recognised by Ofqual.

Real feedback from learners studying with Lift College.
The flexibility was a game changer for me. I studied around my shifts and my tutor was incredibly supportive throughout.
I was nervous about going back to study after 15 years, but the platform is so easy to use and the feedback I got on assignments was genuinely useful.
Got into my first-choice university with a place on a Nursing BSc. The Access to HE Diploma gave me exactly what I needed.
Customer service was excellent. Any time I had a question it was answered within hours. Highly recommend.
