Hi Hales, If you're fairly quick at sussing out new software and by the sounds of it, have some accounts knowledge from your current job (so you may have a clue as to what some logical processes might be), then sage should be a doddle! I found it very easy to pick up, most things with it are fairly intuitive. How long it takes is obviously dependent on how much time you can put it, any current knowledge etc, so this is extremely variable, I'd say anything from a couple of months to near on a year is within range. I'm assuming you're doing it distance learning so it's at your own pace, if it's class based then I have no idea.
I had some experience with kaplan about 4 years ago when I studied the first two levels of AAT with them. Everything was great but to be honest, I had very little contact with them, I pretty much got the books, studied and sat the exams so that's not a lot to go on. I didn't have to submit coursework but did have some progress tests that I could complete and send in for marking if I wanted. This is quite a while ago though so hopefully somebody with some more recent experience will chime in.
hope that's some help anyway, good luck with it all and welcome to the forum!
Chris
