How to Study
with Peak Accountancy Training
Basic Online learning
Online courses provide the flexibility of study that many of us need to fit around our busy lives. Our courses are competitively priced but offer outstanding quality and service.
To help spread the cost of your studies why not purchase our basic online courses on a unit by unit basis.
If you prefer to pay for a whole level of qualification up front then you can do so but unless you tell us otherwise we will send you the materials on a unit by unit basis, after all it is difficult to study everything at once. When you come to the end of a unit let us know and the next set of materials and resources are made available.
Each course is provided with:
- A study planner
- Course notes covering key syllabus areas including worked examples & practice questions.
- Question banks
- Revision books
- Pocket Notes
- Mock exams
- Tutor support by phone or email
- Pre recorded lectures held on our online platform
A pre-recorded lecture is available where a tutor will talk you through every page of every chapter of the course notes supplied, working through examples with you. You can work through at your own pace pausing and resuming the recordings as you wish. Make your own notes as you go on the paper materials supplied.
The study planner that comes with your materials suggests an approach to study breaking the course down into study sessions that are based on our own live online and classroom courses. Of course you are free to study at your own pace. We allow access to the recordings and tutor support for a period of 6 months from commencing each course. Whilst 6 months should be more than enough time to complete a unit and pass the exam you can reinstate access and support for a further 6 months by paying a reinstatement fee.
Question practice is essential so our materials provide a variety of questions to practice with. The study planner recommends questions to practice after each study session. Practicing as you go along helps consolidate knowledge and identifies areas where you may wish to go back over the recordings. Model answers are provided for you to self mark.
For the bigger syllabus courses mid-course tests are provided and you are encouraged to have a go at these and submit to us for marking and feedback.
All courses are supplied with mock exams, again these should be attempted and submitted to us for marking and feedback.
Tutor support is always available, so if you are stuck, don’t see how an answer has been arrived at, just get in touch.
Live Online learning
Live online learning is a form of education where students attend virtual classes in real-time through the internet.
Our dedicated Live Online courses provide all the benefit of a classroom course without having to be in the classroom.
All of the materials and resources that come with our basic online courses are provided to you. But on top you get weekly classes with one of our experienced tutors. We like to ensure that for each course you will get the same tutor throughout.
Our live online classes provide the structure of a weekly classroom course and are fully interactive. If you miss a class they are also recorded so you can catch up, or use them to refresh your knowledge.
Many of our live online courses have both daytime or evening options.
Full timetables for our live online courses can be viewed by selecting the timetables page on our main menu.

Classroom based learning
Peak provided classroom courses from our classrooms in Chester and Liverpool on a weekly basis.
Full programmes start every 6 months in September and February.
Classes run in the daytime, typically on a half day basis either in the morning from 10.00 am to 12.30 or in the pm from 1.30 until 4.15. With some sessions being full day release.
We make sure that class sizes are not too large which means we can give you the support you need.
You will receive all of the materials and resources that come with our basic online course but in addition you have a weekly face to face class with one of our experienced tutor team.
You can look at our classroom timetables to see the full programme and timings of courses by selecting our timetables page on the main menu.
Student Testimonials
I’ve really enjoyed the learning process with Peak, I’ve been impressed with all aspects of the journey including the initial information & support prior to starting, the standard of course material, the tutors and their availability and willingness to help (Headen in particular who suffered quite a few “I’m not sure about this…” on the Advanced Bookkeeping module).
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to the pair of you and the all the guys at Peak, you have made my experience of AAT as enjoyable as it could be and in my opinion handled all the issues arising due to the pandemic brilliantly! I would 100% recommend you to anyone that was looking to balance life, work and studying AAT. I honestly couldn’t say enough great things about the whole business 🙂c
I passed my Final Accounts Preparation exam today with 84%
I just want to say a massive thank you to you & Caroline for making each unit so understandable and interesting and always being at the other end of an email if I have any questions. I was speaking to a few others this morning and it really made me appreciate you guys more! One girl was sitting her synoptic L3 exam today and was looking to continue on with L4 via distance learning, I couldn’t recommend you enough.
I passed my level 4 AAT! Thank you for being my tutors over the past year and a half, I am very grateful for the hard work you put in to every single lecture and of course marking my mocks and replying to my numerous emails. I definitely couldn’t have done it without such good lectures! I’ll miss Peak Accountancy!
