Program details
Overview
This certificate covers bookkeeping fundamentals and walks through the full bookkeeping cycle starting from initial account set-up. Students gain first-hand, hands-on experience with accounting software and with payroll administration tasks, while coursework separately builds communication, teamwork, and presentation skills useful well beyond bookkeeping itself.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: In addition to Selkirk College's general admission standard, this certificate requires English Studies 11 with a minimum of 60% or equivalent, and any Math 10 (or equivalent) with a minimum of 60%. International and other second-language applicants must present an IELTS Academic score of 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, or an equivalent score on another recognized English-proficiency test. Applicants who do not meet the academic minimums may instead complete the College Readiness Tool to confirm their required math and English levels, and an in-person or telephone interview with the program coordinator may be required before entry. Documentation must be submitted by the deadline stated in the applicant's admissions letter. The part-time, largely online program runs roughly nine months, starting every September and finishing by May; where space permits, students may be admitted up to the end of the first week of classes, subject to instructor approval after that point.
