Cert in Accounting and Related Services

The Accounting Technician certificate prepares entry-level employees with computer-driven accounting skills for organizations in both the public and private sectors, whether commercial or charitable. It is offered at the City Campus. Beyond core accounting courses, students also study taxes, payroll, inventory control and the business law that bears on accounting work. The program suits learners seeking a focused credential for office and bookkeeping roles. The full course sequence, program competencies and any special notes appear in the college's 2026-2027 catalog entry. Applicants should confirm current entry steps, scheduling and costs with SUNY Erie admissions and the financial aid office before enrolling, since requirements can change between catalog years. Advisors can also explain how credits earned here may count toward further study or employment goals, and which campus location offers the schedule that fits a student's circumstances best.
