AAT Courses: Campus-Plus – Combined Level 2 & 3

The best training programmes often strike a balance between e-learning and face-to-face, classroom-based learning. Both approaches come with their own sets of pros and cons. The trick is to blend them, capitalising on the strengths of each, which results in a more efficient and impactful learning experience.

McArthur Morgan’s Campus-Plus is precisely this type of learning approach for your AAT studies. We’ve mixed the best of both worlds by pairing online educational resources and the chance to interact virtually with the tried-and-tested methods of traditional classroom learning. This offers a comprehensive and dynamic course for the AAT Levels 2 and 3, that’s sure to set you on the path to accounting success.

What is Campus-Plus?

You will gain access to the distance learning element via our online learning platform, allowing you to receive help from tutors and your fellow students.

You will also attend our “brick-and-mortar” campus at the University of Law in central London, with a teacher present for both face-to-face classroom in-person lessons, as well as one-to-one tutorials with your tutor.

This allows you to benefit from the sense of cohesion and support that a physical classroom naturally provides, providing a sense of community and support.

Who’s it for?

This is the perfect option if you want the flexibility of distance learning to fit around your life or to learn at your own pace, but also need the structure and support of a face-to-face classroom environment, so that you can feel supported and be successful in your studies. This means that you can get the best of both worlds; face-to-face teaching and digital learning.

Initial e-learning can better prepare learners for the classroom experience. Classroom time is reserved for more meaningful exercises, getting you better equipped for the real exam itself.

Now is a good time to prepare and improve your CV with the skills and qualifications valued by potential employers.

  • The CBA assessment incurs a fee payable to your chosen Assessment Centre. The cost of the CBA fee depends on the course level of the assessment. This is not included in your course tuition fees.
    Level 1  - approx £80*
    Level 2-4  - approx £please get in touch
    These prices are provided only as a guide. Contact your chosen Assessment Centre for their current rates.

  • The AAT registration fee is paid directly to the AAT. The registration fee depends on the qualification and is not included in your course tuition fees.
    Level 1 Bookkeeping - £45*
    Level 2-4 - £please get in touch

    Please note. If you are taking multiple course exams, such as our combined courses, you will need a CBA and AAT registration for each level of the course.

Payment Options

Single Payment: You have the option to pay the entire course fee in one full payment.

Spread the Payments: For some courses, we offer the flexibility to spread the cost of your tuition over several months. The course details will specify the monthly rate and the maximum duration for payments. For instance, if a course is priced at £500 with a payment plan of £100 deposit and £100 for 4 months, the total amount payable for the course remains £500, spread over a maximum period of 5 months. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 0%

The 0% Payment Plan is an internal arrangement offered by McArthurMorgan, without the involvement of any external financial providers. This option is exclusively available for the tuition fees of McArthurMorgan courses.

*Correct at time of publication. CBA assessment and AAT registration fees are subject to change. Visit the AAT website for more information.
