Program details

Overview

The Advanced Bookkeeping Certificate covers the numeracy skills needed by bookkeepers, accounting clerks, and various similar positions. You will also complete a practicum for a hands-on opportunity to apply skills and knowledge acquired in a workplace environment. This program is for those who already have an Office Assistant Certificate. Topics include keyboarding, payroll, computerized accounting, and bookkeeping.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This advanced certificate requires successful completion of Selkirk's Office Administration and Technology Certificate, Office Assistant specialty, or an equivalent program, with a program grade point average of 2.67 or better; the page does not state which scale that average is measured on. No IELTS, TOEFL or other English-language test score is published. The deadline for supplying required documentation is set out in each applicant's own admissions letter, and an interview, in person or by phone, with the program coordinator or a designate may be requested before entry. Where space allows, students may still be admitted up to the end of the first week of classes; admission beyond that point needs the approval of the instructors involved. The certificate, a 3.5-month program following the Office Assistant Certificate, runs a single Winter intake.
