why choose us?

Gold Edge Training from its launch in 2012, has specialised in achieving the optimum learner experience.

Our teachers’ bespoke approach to teaching the individual and not the group plus our revolutionary programme development have focused attention on combining a range of resources that deliver stress free, flexible learning.

This has proven, as you can see above by our results, to deliver optimum levels of student passes.

We believe every learner has a right, once enrolled, to enjoy their study, pass their exams and follow their career dream. Our videos below will explain more.

our course design

Gold Edge Training courses are designed with a focus on bespoke teaching for the individual. All of our programmes are gold quality with top level resources included as standard. The difference in our course pricing is purely down to the type and cost of the resources included.

Our course range is built to recognise that different learning styles, need different resources and we believe, all programmes should be flexible enough for all learner requirements to be met.

In summary, some resources such as videos are more expensive than other resources to deliver. When deciding on what is best for you, think about how you prefer to learn first because the more expensive resources, are not necessarily the best for your particular learning style.

What is your learning choice? Please view our course range videos to gauge a better understanding of who you are as a learner:

online on demand

online distance learning

exam pass guarantee

Many years of experience teaching AAT programmes have gone into the design and structure of our online learning courses.

We believe the support we give our students to achieve success is second to none and we are happy to seal this belief with an exam pass assurance guarantee.

ready to succeed?

Take the first step and enrol to bring your career a lot closer than you realise. Pass the first exam and you will be noticed by employers, pass the second and career doors will open. Pass the first level and your career will have begun!

In the following catalogue, courses have been summarised and categorised into bookkeeping and full accounting courses for easy reading and selection.

The bookkeeping qualifications which form part of the full accounting qualification are as relevant to those employed in a company as to those who are self-employed.

We can say with absolute surety, our teachers “have been there, done it, and got the accountancy qualification T-shirt”, which is why we believe they are the best people to advise you prior to enrolment and to teach and support you after enrolment.

‘Success by Design’ is not only about matching resources to your learning requirements, it is about matching the right AAT course to your career ambitions.

not sure?

‘Success by Design’ is a recognition that all learners are different. Each learner will require a certain blend of resources, different levels of support and varying degrees of flexibility.

For Gold Edge Training to successfully deliver such bespoke learning, it was necessary for us to offer a wide choice of course options. The wide choice, can however, for some students just mean study confusion.

If your thoughts are:

"Yes, but what is my learning style?" or
"How do you start to choose the right course?"

You have reached that perfect time to talk to a teacher.

A teacher chat is not a final check before enrolment, it is more likely to be a pre-study chat to focus your planning in the right direction. A teacher chat is about finding out ‘more’ before you decide and making sure that ‘more’ is focused on you.

You are not just a unique learner while you study, you are a unique learner before you study. If you require several teacher chats whilst you decide what is best for you, that is normal and encouraged at Gold Edge.

Pre-enrolment planning with teacher support, is invaluable to making the right study decisions. The right study decisions are paramount to achieving the right career.
