Level 3 diplomas in Accounting and Finance
Accounting at Level 3 is about becoming fluent with the mechanics: recording transactions, keeping ledgers straight, and understanding where cost information comes from. Neither diploma here carries UCAS Tariff points, and neither is a professional accountancy qualification. What they do is prepare you to start a Level 4 diploma in accounting or business at LSPM with the basics already in hand, which is where most people who arrive without A level maths or business struggle.
Every diploma here is delivered, assessed and certified by London School of Planning and Management (LSPM), the approved centre. This site is LSPM's independent recruitment agent and is paid by LSPM on enrolment.

Level 3 Diploma in Accounting and Finance
Three units and 60 credits on the parts of accounting that everything else rests on: recording what happened, knowing what it cost, and keeping the records right. A compact Level 3 for people heading into a Level 4 accounting diploma, or for anyone who keeps the books and wants to do it properly.

Facts and units
Points, and the lack of them
None of the accounting and finance diplomas listed above has a UCAS Tariff value. If you already hold a scored qualification in a related subject, such as a BTEC National, add it up with the calculator before deciding you need one of these. If you have no points, or not enough, the diplomas are a regulated route to a Level 4 diploma in accounting and finance or a related subject at LSPM.
