Home Study - AAT Level 2- How does the 'Computer Based Project' Assessment get graded?

Hi,
After reading lots of different threads, I think I'm going to try self study for AAT Level 2 in Accounting.
I reckon I'm gonna opt for the books from BPP, join AAT Membership so that I can access their practice exams online and be able to sit my exams, and then just book my exams at my local AAT centre (£80 for each one).
I can see that there is SAGE 50 30-day free-trial software available to help me with the Computerised Accounting unit of the course.
My question is, according to one of the home learning sites, 4 of the units are computer based which means I can just book my test at my local AAT centre, but one is classed as a 'computer based project' and is sent to your 'Tutor' for marking. What options do I have here, cos I obviously wont have a Tutor?
I know that people have said just read the content of Level 2, skip the exams and just move onto Level 3, but as I'm going for a career change, I would really like to sit the exams so that I can get something accounts related onto my CV ASAP.
Any advice anyone can give me would be really appreciated. And also if anyone can see any flaws with my masterplan above, please feel free to tell me :-)
Thanks.

You would need to get a training provider to at least mark this for you. You can't do this unit without at least some help from a training provider. Most providers wont offer a marking only service, so you would need to purchase the one unit from them. Some exam centres do offer it though.Nick Craggs FMAAT AATQB ACA, AAT Branch Member and Distance Learning Director at First Intuition
