I can honestly say I’m very happy with my experience with McArthur Online AAT Level 3. It is more affordable than any college course option with the same quality of the content (or better, like in my experience in comparison to my college-provided level 2 course). In this course, you still receive your books via post if you prefer to study by reading, but you also have a series of recorded video lectures by a well-spoken and knowledgeable tutor, which really does matter when it comes to explaining accounting!
The website is easy to navigate so you can literally start straight away as soon as you ordered the course without anyone’s guidance or help. The option to study from the comfort of my own home really appealed to me; you can always get back to more difficult or tricky parts of the lecture at any point by just a click of a button and the option to watch as many times as possible. It also frees faster students, like myself, from the burden of waiting for the rest of the classroom to catch up and therefore it offers the option to complete the course in a shorter period of time. I completed level 3 in 7 months, but this whole time I had the comfort of knowing that I could take much more time if I needed it. There is always the option to ask questions, but I felt the modules were well explained and I found that I never even needed to. At the end of each module, the tutor shows step by step how to correctly go through both practice assessment on the AAT website so you can check how the model answers are achieved rather than just view them.
Generally, I can definitely recommend this course and if I go on to start level 4, McArthur Online is definitely the one I will choose.
