Accounting Technician Diploma
Accounting Certificate

The primary goal of the Accounting Technician Diploma is to train accounting technicians, who generally work as supervisors in accounting departments or as para-professionals assisting professional accountants. Those who complete the first year of the program may earn an Accounting Certificate. This certificate will qualify the student as an accounting clerk.

Graduates of the two-year diploma program can enroll directly in the CGA or CMA programs and receive exemptions for many courses in either program.
