What our learners say:

"The content was so easy to follow and the support I had when needed/when struggling was so helpful. I haven’t studied since leaving school (many years ago!) and when I started the course I wondered if I would ever grasp it – but the way the videos talk through each subject made it easy to work through each subject and understand it." Kate Winterbourne

"I have completed both AAT Level 2 and 3 Bookkeeping with McArthur Online and highly recommend them. Emma and Jon are very friendly and helpful, they both respond almost immediately to any queries and Jon was happy to chat through a practice question that I needed more help on. The tutorial sessions are easy to follow and understand. If I decide to study further then I will definitely do so with McArthur Online!" Sarah Raison
