There are several ways of doing an accounting degree. Many universities offer a business or commerce degree with the opportunity to major in accounting.

This gives students the chance to specialise in taxation, financial services or business management. The course is 3 years full time and can be completed across their Lismore and Gold Coast campuses as well as online. If you’re looking to become a management accountant, credit manager, bursar or an auditor then this could be the one for you.

This is a widely available course that can be done through almost every TAFE and often is suitable to do online depending on the institution. If you think that becoming an accounts clerk or a payroll officer then a VET in accounts administration is the perfect starting point. TAFE SA offers a Certificate III in Accounts Administration which can be completed in 6 months. It’s offered at 7 different campuses and also online to give you lots of options.
