Practical Bookkeeping Experience

It’s a well-known fact that the most successful entrepreneurs have experience in their chosen sector. One of the best ways to gain experience is to work in the relevant industry. You will have the opportunity to work closely with professionals, and hopefully pick up the necessary skills and experience.

However this is not always possible, as some employers (despite current legislation) are reluctant to employ people over a certain age or with no experience. If you manage to obtain a job, you will probably begin as a junior or apprentice. In the majority of circumstances this means earning a low salary.

If you want to run your own business in an industry that you have no experience in, the ideal situation would be to find someone willing to show you exactly what you need to know, without having to live on an apprentice wage. You want to learn what the professionals know, the skills, tips and shortcuts that aren’t always obvious. Without being in the industry and working closely with professionals, it’s not always possible to do this.

Bookkeeping is a popular profession for people looking to start a home-based business. It’s hard not to see why when you look at the Why Bookkeeping page on our website. There are numerous bookkeeping courses on the market. However the majority of conventional bookkeeping courses are geared towards taking exams, and therefore have to cover areas of bookkeeping that you may never use as a bookkeeper when running your own bookkeeping business.

The Bookcert Business Kit is as close as a home study course gets to on the job training, without the job. You can think of the Bookcert Business Kit as your bookkeeping apprenticeship.  You get to learn the skills, the tips and the shortcuts in your own time and at your own pace. You will benefit from the support of the Bookcert Mentoring Team who are experts in bookkeeping, and will be able to answer any technical bookkeeping or tax queries you may have.

Only areas of bookkeeping which you need to know in order to run your own bookkeeping business are covered. This makes the learning curve less steep, and substantially quicker.

Conventional bookkeeping and accountancy courses are not generally aimed at bookkeepers becoming self-employed. Students who take these courses will learn the principles of bookkeeping, but may not learn how to actually start and run a bookkeeping business. The Bookcert Business Kit is a complete business in a box, and as such is 100% focused on equipping you with the skills, knowledge and tools required to run your own bookkeeping business. A fundamental component of the Bookcert Business Kit is the Bookcert Practice Module. This gives you the opportunity to complete a set of mock books for a business. This practical 'hands on' experience, combined with the technical support of the Bookcert mentoring team, is why we believe the Bookcert Business Kit should be your number one choice.
