Overview

This qualification at Level 1 of the National Qualifications Framework has been designed to provide candidates with a flexible and modern introduction to key topics in bookkeeping.

The qualification is made up of five units which can be entered individually or as part of an overall Certificate qualification. Candidates can also take any combination of units short of the full award. If candidates wish to take all five units of the qualification, then a Diploma award is also available.

The structure of the Certificate qualification requires candidates to take a mandatory unit (Unit 1) plus any other two units. There are two units in manual bookkeeping to choose from and two units in computerised bookkeeping to choose from. Candidates can either specialise in manual units or computerised units or pick and mix from both to make up their Certificate.

Unit 1 is a timetabled examination available at different times in the year. Units 2, 3, 4 and 5 are assessed using an OCR-set assignment, marked by OCR, but administered by centres at a time of their choosing.

The OCR Level 1 Certificate in Bookkeeping (01870) is aimed at those who are new to the skills and knowledge required of bookkeepers and also at those who are studying in preparation for employment in bookkeeping job roles.
