Using Accounting Software practice

MP00326

Hi, I am currently studying AAT Level 2 (I self-study) and at the moment I'm studying for the Using Accounting Software module. Thing is, I have no way to practice actually using the software, would anyone be able to tell me where I can find it? I am a mac user by the way. Is there a download feature on the AAT website that I missed maybe?

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi @MP00326

I doubt the AAT website would have it. You could download a trial version (see link below). I should mention that unless it is the cloud version the rest of them will most likely only work on windows and not Mac.

The SAGE we just got from school because what you do in the exam and on your own MAC would be diffrent.

Thanks for the heads up @shamilkaria , the Sage website does say that it is possible to use on Boot Camp, hopefully all goes well.

You could be right, but as long as you understand the software I feel you should be okay using any other versions. Plus this student is self studying so unfortunately hasn't got the option to have the software provided by a training provider

No worries you are most welcome

Hopefully it works and helps you out with your studies

True True but I was told by my teacher we could not do it at home as Sage will not be the same.

@anony123 - The teachers are right, however anyone self studying would then struggle as they only have a book but no software to practice on
