It could also be used by those candidates who have some practical knowledge and skills at this level and wish to gain an accredited qualification in the subject.Owners of small businesses may also find this qualification useful as it gives coverage of the keeping of a single entry book manual keeping system, suitable for the production of small business accounts and also acts as some of the underpinning knowledge required for the processing of financial transactions using a computerised accounting system.

Under the guise of Woodgrove Tutorials, Brian's pioneering approach to distance learning has seen him finish top of the class among his peers. Brian, said: "Out of 300 Colleges I have had the top student in the International Association of Bookkeeping exams no less than eight times the last few years. "They realised that our record was exceptional and decided to give me a special award, sort of like a lifetime achievement award."

Brian received his award at a ceremony at Westminster alongside his wife Caroline who also plays a big part in the firm.

Over the years Woodgrove Tutorials has taught thousands of students by Distance Learning without ever meeting them. He said: "It is quite funny really, I've had 1000s of students but if I bumped into them in the street I wouldn't know half of them. We have students from all sorts of backgrounds."
