Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Get A Head Start On The Exams

Finish the programmes and you may be eligible for selected ACCA exam exemptions. That means fewer papers to sit, and a shorter road to membership.

Use It In Your Job Now

Management accounting, tax, reporting and the software you already touch. Each piece goes straight into your current work while you study.

Study Around A Full Week

It runs online at your own pace, with 18 months of access. No fixed class times and no exams on the course itself. You choose when you sit down to it.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Accounting sits under every business, and the people who can read the numbers get asked into the room. The work is easy to picture. You close off the month, explain what moved, and help the next decision get made.

Financial Accountant

Reporting, statements and the standards behind them, which the diploma covers in depth.

Management Accountant

Costing, budgets and performance numbers, straight out of the management accounting modules.

Tax Consultant

Tax work for businesses and for people, built on the taxation modules here.

Compliance Officer

Rules, controls and reporting, where the ethics and practice modules earn their place.

Business Adviser

Helping owners read their own numbers and plan what comes next.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Chartered Certified Accountant status comes through ACCA itself: the exams, the ethics module and 36 months of relevant experience.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need experience to start?

The pathway opens with the fundamentals, so you can come in without formal accounting study behind you. It suits people already working in accounts just as well.

How long does it take?

Around 400 hours at your own pace, with 18 months of access. There are no fixed class times, so it fits around work.

What does it cost each week?

The payment plan is $29 a week, with no deposit and no credit check. You can pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or pay upfront. Enquire for the full options.

Are the ACCA exams included?

The college covers your registration fee, three exemption fees and your first year of ACCA membership. The exams themselves are booked and paid through ACCA at their own fees. Sessions run four times a year, in March, June, September and December.

Will I get exam exemptions?

After the relevant programmes you may be eligible for selected ACCA exam exemptions. ACCA decides which ones apply to you. Doing the programmes in this order is what puts them on the table.

Is this course accredited?

The college is an ICOES accredited centre. It also holds accreditation with the CPD Standards Office. You finish with a Certificate of Achievement. It is not an NZQA qualification, which is a different thing. On this path the recognition that counts is ACCA's, and that comes through their exams and their membership.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 10-day money back guarantee. If it is not right for you, you get your money back.
