Computerized Accounting Certificate Launched by Trident University International
CYPRESS, Calif. (PRWEB) October 19, 2017 -- Trident University International (Trident) announced today the introduction of a non-degree Computerized Accounting Certificate, available starting in the October 30th Fastrac session. Enrollment in this certificate program is currently underway.
Originally scheduled for 2018, the Computerized Accounting Certificate’s launch was pushed up three months due to positive survey feedback from students interested in program enrollment.
The Computerized Accounting Certificate is a shorter, professional development program designed to prepare students seeking entry level jobs in accounting, like payroll clerk, tax preparer, bookkeeper, new account clerk and accounts payable/receivable.
This six-month program consists of six courses at 18 credit hours. Courses required for completion include:
• Accounting & Bookkeeping Fundamentals
• Introduction to Computerized Accounting
• Introduction to Tax Preparation
• Business Communication for Tax Professionals
• Advanced Computerized Accounting
• Advanced Tax Preparation
This program is eligible for MyCAA funding. For those students enrolled in this certificate program during its first session, the Trident Kickoff Scholarship is available. Valued at $4,700, the scholarship will reduce the certificate’s overall tuition cost to $4,000.
A Computerized Accounting Diploma, a nine-month program, will be available starting in the January 2nd Fastrac session. The diploma will prepare students with classes like Quantitative Methods and Critical Thinking to prepare them for job roles such as accounting clerk, bookkeeper, income tax preparer, accountant, payroll coordinator, or assistant office manager.
Earlier this year Trident introduced its first certificate program, The SAS Joint Certificate in Business Analytics. More professional development certificates are expected in the near future.
