AAT Courses: Campus-Plus – Level 4 Accounting
Effective training programmes often require both e-learning and classroom-based training to be successful. Classroom training and e-learning both have their advantages and disadvantages. Optimal training programmes blend these two training methods to take advantage of their respective strengths. The result is more efficient and effective training.
McArthurMorgan Campus-Plus is an approach to your AAT studies that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods.
What is Campus-Plus?
You will gain access to the distance learning element via our online learning platform, allowing you to receive help from tutors and your fellow students.
You will also attend our “brick-and-mortar” campus at the University of Law in central London, with a teacher present for both face-to-face classroom in-person lessons, as well as one-to-one tutorials with your tutor.
This allows you to benefit from the sense of cohesion and support that a physical classroom naturally provides, providing a sense of community and support.
Who’s it for?
This is the perfect option if you want the flexibility and safety of distance learning to fit around your life or to learn at your own pace, but also need the structure and support of a face-to-face classroom environment, so that you can feel supported and be successful in your studies. This means that you can get the best of both worlds; face-to-face teaching and digital learning.
Initial e-learning can better prepare learners for the classroom experience. Classroom time is reserved for more meaningful exercises, getting you better equipped for the real exam itself.
Now is a good time to prepare and improve your CV with the skills and qualifications valued by potential employers.
What to expect?
Our college has carried out extensive preparations to be ready for face-to-face learning, and we have a range of solutions and innovations currently in place to make sure you’ll get a fantastic and safe study experience.
We’ve made sure that all appropriate social distancing measures are in place, and we are, of course, following all UK government guidance on health and safety.
