Testimonials

  • Charlie Borrett
    AAT Level 3 Advanced Certificate in Bookkeeping
    "I've been studying with McArthur since starting my role at Sytrus Ltd as a trainee accountant 11 months ago. The videos and customised workbooks provide plenty of real-life examples for me to practice my training on. McArthur's teaching strategy meant I was able to grasp the main accounting concepts quickly and effectively - this then enabled me to move onto harder, more advanced areas within my job. It was a win-win! I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience training with McArthur Online and will definitely be continuing with them further on through my AAT qualification."

The lectures on their website in my opinion are superior to a classroom environment, as you can pause, rewind and watch them as much as you like. I have achieved a Distinction thanks to these comprehensive videos, and look forward to continuing my studies with McArthur Online."
