Liam Woof

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.

Working towards my AAT Qualifications with McArthur Online was the best decision I have made and a great experience for me. The online lectures are great, Jon is very good at explaining in detail all information, and being able to contact him or Emma for advice and guidance it has made everything easier.

Their support is greatly appreciated!

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 have found studying with McArthur Online a very smooth and stress-free process. Emma and Jon are always there if you need them and make you feel like you matter to them as a student, which is really important when studying online. I achieved a Merit in Level 2 Accounting and am keen to be going onto study Level 3 with McArthur Online straight away!

This course has been very easy to fit around my other commitments and I have been able to study at my own pace. I highly recommend McArthur Online if you are looking to study these courses. Thanks Emma and Jon, I feel really supported in my journey which I didn’t expect from an online course!

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!

Team of professionals who are always there to assist in any aspect – the organisational and learning processes as well as liaising with AAT. Very structured and time-saving course with understandable study materials, on paper and online. Suitable for remote students abroad. Provides time flexibility and tutor guidance. Highly recommend!

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!

Anthony Sells

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!

The study programme is amazing, helped me to achieve distinction in AAT Level 2 with 100% in Bookkeeping & 99% in UACS.

I’ve received excellent, quick support from Emma even during weekends and the course videos from Jon are easy to understand and to the point. Would highly recommend McArthur Online!”

I had been working in IT for years and was thinking of changing my career. A friend recommended AAT to me, and I found McArthur Online while searching for information on the AAT website. I enrolled while still working, as online training gave me the freedom of learning at my own pace.

Despite the fact that it is online training, the tuition videos are easy to understand. It doesn’t feel like I am watching a recording because Jon explains all the definitions and examples as if the lesson is happening in a classroom. The practice videos don’t only provide answers to mock exam questions, but also give detailed explanation to the answers.

Both Jon and Emma are very responsive to any questions on the study materials and the exams and are very supportive. I am now studying level 3 with McArthur Online.

Aneta Kujawa

My experience with McArthur Online was super positive. I’ve managed to complete Level 2 accounting with distinction in 6 months while on maternity leave. The whole learning process went very smoothly without any problems.

All lectures are recorded and supported with written materials to cater for different styles of learning. Jon is very thorough in introducing new material and full of practical advice. These are then followed by practice tests also explained in detail. The student support aka Emma is very approachable, very fast in responding to any enquiries and very helpful.

This was probably the easiest educational experience I’ve had in my life. McArthur Online offers flexible studying at an affordable price. When I start Level 3, it will be with them.

Natasha Henson

I would highly recommend McArthur Online Training to anyone wishing to pursue a career in Accountancy. The training videos are of excellent quality, giving you all the benefits of classroom teaching but at a time that works for you. Jon and Emma are very supportive and quick to respond to any questions I may have.

The supplementary workbooks and exam kits help to consolidate your understanding of each module and the exam videos from Jon have meant I feel fully prepared of what to expect going into each exam. As a result of having a fantastic training provider,

I have achieved a Distinction for Level 2 Certificate in Accounting and I am looking forward to continuing studying for Level 3. king forward to the next Level 3 in Accounting.

Having decided to take the next huge leap in my life and start-up study towards an Accounting qualification, I came across McArthur Online on a whim and decided to express interest in AAT’s level two course, and now a year later I passed the entire course with flying colours thanks to their excellent study material, online lectures that are informative and straight to the point, but most of all, it’s all thanks to the friendly faces that run it! Highly recommend choosing McArthur Online if you want to start your journey into Accounting study.

Achieving my AAT Level 2 was made enjoyable by studying with McArthur Online. Being able to set my own schedule and work at my own pace removed much of the stress of studying. The clear way in which the various topics were taught, combined with excellent examples, made the subjects easy to grasp.

I also felt confident going into exams, as the videos going through the practice papers and the other exam resources made me feel adequately prepared. I will certainly be continuing my AAT qualifications with McArthur Online.

Ivan Krachenko

I was an accountant in Ukraine, but when the war started I was forced to leave the country and came to the United Kingdom. So I had to start my career anew. Including, it was necessary to obtain an accountant’s certificate.
I’m so glad I found McArthur Online Training. They created the most comfortable structure of training and preparation for passing exams. The language of teaching was as clear as possible, this was especially important for me because my level of English was not very high. I am very grateful to the people who created this learning platform.
Through studying at McArthur Online, I was able to successfully receive AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting.

Ryan Incledon

I have just completed my AAT level 2 certificate in accounting and I would highly recommend McArthur Online. The video lessons are fantastic and Jon explains the content in a concise and easy to understand way, even if you start with little knowledge of accounting like I did.

The way the course is structured makes it perfect to work around the pressures of everyday life, with most video lessons around an hour or less it’s easy to fit them in when you have the time. The way Jon works through the practice exams in the revision lessons at the end of each module was really useful, as it showed me where I had any weaknesses prior to the exam and it let me know what to expect with the way the exams are structured prior to me completing the first one.

It was reassuring to know that Jon and Emma were easy to contact should I have any questions or issues and Emma was very quick to respond when I did have a question about an exam. I will be looking to complete my AAT level 3 with McArthur Online in the very near future
