Provider
Since 1996, Training Link has become one of the leading distance learning course providers for Bookkeeping and Accounts in the UK.
We wanted to tackle a very clear problem in the distance learning sector. The standard of materials on offer from many providers were simply not effective for learning outside the classroom.
We set out to analyse in detail- how can we maximise your chances of success? How can you become a qualified bookkeeper by studying from home, in your spare time?
By specialising in one subject area, we’ve been able to focus on the accounting and bookkeeping learning experience.
We know that your road to success starts with the right study material. And that’s why we put so much effort into creating course packs of the highest calibre. So that’s why our carefully crafted course books are constantly reviewed. Our experienced tutors scrutinise each unit, example, and exercise with one question in mind- how can we make this even better?
The more feedback we get, the more we subtly improve the high standards of our learning material. And that means even more Training Link students successfully passing their ICB or AAT exams. And of course, more students going on to successfully work as a bookkeeper or starting their own practice.
