Recent world events have seen the growth of the independent business person, be it as a small to medium enterprise, kitchen table entrepreneur, or local social media news hounds.

Sutton College has an experienced and highly-skilled team of Business and Accounts tutors that deliver a range of courses that enrol throughout the year.

City and Guilds endorsed Book-Keeping, Computerised Accounts and Manual & Computerised Accounts (Payroll) courses at various levels are offered, enabling students to add marketable skills to their CV, or upskill existing ones in order to apply successfully for promotion opportunities or track their own small company accounts. Most of these are offered in a short and intensive style, mirroring the fast pace of the industry. 

We are also an approved Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) training provider, offering the full suite of courses from the introductory Accounting Level 1 Access Award in Business Skills, right through to the internationally recognised AAT Level 4 Professional Diploma in Accounting.

On an AAT Level 3 Advanced Diploma in Accounting course, you will study units including Indirect Tax, Spreadsheet Software and Professional Ethics with Level 4 covering  elements such as Financial Statements and Budgeting.
