Becoming self employed

snowy_autumn

Evening all,

I am currently studying L3 and would like to apply for the bookkeeping certificate to enable me to become self employed in the near future.

The only problem I have is I currently work full time in an accounts role that does not involve bookkeeping and I am unable to have anyone to sign me off as competent in order to apply for the certificate.

I have tried to look for evening/weekend bookkeeping positions but they are very hard to find!

I can't afford to leave my job atm as a bookkeeping role would be taking a large pay cut.

Has anyone else has the same issue?

I think I saw that I can do books for free to get signed off and then apply for certificate to be able to charge a fee.

Any help appreciated
