Our Student Reviews 

Georgiana Anisoara Gradinaru

“I recently completed an accounting course as part of the AAT qualification, and I am very satisfied with the experience. The course was well structured, with clear and detailed explanations that made even the more complex topics easier to understand.

Jon did an excellent job of presenting the material in a way that was accessible, ensuring I fully grasped the concepts. The materials provided were very helpful, and Jon’s teaching style made the learning experience engaging and effective.

The knowledge I gained from Level 2 has already proven valuable in my work, helping me contribute more effectively to my accounting processes.”

As mum of two, I was looking for online provider to juggle studying and looking after children. I could choose from so many providers but McArthur Online was the right choice!
I had no accounting education or experience and English isn’t my first language but Jon’s explanations are so clear and easy to understand. Anything you don’t understand or struggle with – Jon and Emma will be there.
I passed level 2 (with a Distinction) as my first step and now so excited to carry on to level 3!!

Last September I decided I wanted to undertake the AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting and  went in search of a provider which would facilitate my schedule and allow me to work at my own pace. That’s when I found McArthur Online.

With easy-to-follow, rewatchable tuition videos on all the course content, along with written material to supplement my learning, it made for a very smooth and satisfying learning experience from start to finish. To top this all off, the really quick and helpful student support service provided by both Emma & Jon made for such a great all-round experience.

Now just less than a year on from starting the course I am very pleased to say that I have completed the entire course with a final grade of Distinction! I can’t thank both Emma & Jon enough for helping me to achieve this.

Many thanks to Jon and Emma for the amazing help in getting me through the Level 2 AAT course. Everything from the structure of the course to the video lessons was excellent. The videos were very easy to understand whilst working through the theory and the practical examples really helped the information stick. The very clear communication also made it a seamless experience and thanks to how well I did on the course it has allowed me to secure a job in financial audit.

Jon is a great tutor; he explained everything clearly using good examples. This made the learning process easier to understand. I was very impressed and I have now moved onto level 3.

Thanks to Jon and Emma at McArthur Online for getting me through my Level 2 AAT which has now helped me secure a job in accounting.

The textbooks and workbooks provided are well structured to build up knowledge gradually and test it along the way. Emma was very supportive throughout my progress. Jon’s videos really helped to break down the content into understandable, real-world terms and I found them to be the most valuable of the very affordable course.

My employer suggested I study for my AAT and a colleague recommended McArthur Online. Having a full-time job, I did not want to have to go and study at a college in the evenings so I decided to enrol.

Studying with them has made it a lot easier, as I can do it in my own time and re watch the videos as many times as I need to. Jons videos are very thorough, clear and easy to follow. Both Emma and Jon are available at any time if I have any questions.

Thanks to them I have now passed Level 2 Foundation in Accounting and have now signed up with them to study the AAT Level 3 Diploma.

When choosing AAT provider, I spend long time on research and with 2 best choices left I contacted Emma to ask additional questions. After our very first conversation I was convinced, McArthur Online is the right choice for me. I was right!

The materials are brilliant and videos with Jon are ‘must have’ tool. I enjoyed my Level 2 and completed it with distinction. Now with Level 3 in progress I hope to make McArthur Online proud and stay a little bit longer for Level 4.

I have never used an online study programme and was a little unsure of what to expect but studying with McArthur Online has been fantastic. With access to the online portal I have been able to work around my personal commitments and study when it suits me.

The resources are great and the recorded lectures are detailed and easy to understand. I always went into an exam feeling confident and prepared. Emma and Jon were always there with a quick response if I needed a little extra support.

I’ve completed my Accountancy Level 2 course with a distinction and will be using McArthur Online again for Level 3.

I completed my Level 2 AAT course with McArthur Online. It was great to complete the course going at my own pace, and the videos were easy to follow. I liked to follow along with Jon on the videos to see if I got the correct answers on the practice exams.

Emma was very helpful over email, answering any queries I had in a very efficient manner. The study material that was sent to me was very informative and helpful also.

Would recommend McArthur Online to anyone struggling to know which training provider to go for!

I really wanted to start studying for my Level 2 Certificate in Accounting, but learn in my own time and at my pace. I was drawn to McArthur Online because the course was completely broken down on the website so clearly, I knew exactly what I would be getting myself into.

They are always available to help when you need it and I managed to complete my Level 2 with a Distinction! Massive thank you to Jon and Emma I can’t recommend them enough!

Studying with McArthur Online served as a benchmark which helped me secure a job in the accountancy industry. The lecture recordings are excellent, Jon explains everything with easy to follow examples which meant I went into exams fully confident (I still hear Jon’s voice in my head to this day!).

Any and all questions I had were answered very quickly by Emma & Jon. All of the costs of the programme are super clear on the website (which even includes estimated exam fees!), so you’ll not have any hidden costs to contend with.

Thank you McArthur Online!
