Cert in Accounting and Related Services

This certificate prepares students for entry-level work as bookkeeping clerks. At some small firms, bookkeeping is part of an office manager's job. Bookkeepers initiate simple purchases, review source documents, and enter the results into accounting software. The one-year program suits people who work full time or study part time and want to upgrade skills or become a bookkeeper or office manager at a small or medium-sized firm. All credits earned can be applied toward the Associate of Applied Business in Accounting. Students should contact the Financial Aid Office about certificate eligibility. Prospective students can speak with an advisor about course sequences, expected outcomes, and cost of attendance. People who are new to the college begin with Tri-C's online application. Tri-C staff can answer questions about next steps.
