Description:

This 35-week program is designed to be an administration certificate with a specialization in Bookkeeping. Your training in both manual and computerized accounting, payroll, communications and Microsoft Office Suite will make your skillset a sought-after asset for employers across all industries.

The last component of the program is a three-week practicum placement aimed at providing on-the-job training, furthering your employment opportunities.

Our programs uniquely prepare students by allocating more instructional hours for the application of concepts that the big schools simply don't have time for. Our small class sizes, individual attention, and additional instructional hours, all contribute to student success and employability post-graduation.
