This particular course is a compressed, intensive, super fast-track course.

What are AAT Distance Learning Plus – Live Online Courses?

Distance Learning Plus –  Live Online offer the advantages and structure usually found only in the classroom courses, but with the independence of studying from home – avoiding the time and cost of commuting to your college campus. If you have access to a computer or device with a webcam suitable for video conferencing, just click to join your scheduled virtual classroom and you are in – joining your tutor and the rest of the class from your own home.

Choose from daytime, evening or weekend timetabled live lectures online, and talk to tutors during the class for live feedback. Additionally, our lectures are recorded for you, so if you miss one you can catch up or re-watch classes for extra revision. We think it’s the safest, most stress-free and motivational way to study.

Who’s it for?

Distance Learning Plus – Live Online suits people who want the benefits of interactive class based learning, enjoy live tutor support and the flexibility and motivation of a tutor-structured approach to their studies, but with the flexibility of joining remotely from wherever you have internet access.

Now is a good time to prepare and improve your skills and qualifications, as organisations and the economy rebound.

What to expect?

Hybrid working, less commuting and the greater use of online technology is meaning that we all might have a little more spare time and motivation to learn.

Our Distance Learning Plus – Live Online virtual classrooms allow you to enjoy the whole interactive, live classroom experience delivered by our expert tutors from your own home.

This could be an opportunity for you to push ahead and do more studying than you had considered previously. The perfect time for a career boost.

The course fee encompasses all aspects of your learning experience with McArthurMorgan, including tuition, revision sessions, evaluation of practice mock exams, and all study materials required for the duration of the course.

Upon completing your studies with McArthurMorgan, many students opt to undertake the official AAT CBA Assessment at a local AAT Approved Assessment Centre and also register with the AAT to formalise their qualification.

  • 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.

Plese note: Any special offers are limited time offers. They are subject to availability and may be withdrawn or become unavailable if oversubscribed.
