Level 2 Certificate in Accounting
Our Level 2 Certificate in Accounting introduces a range of basic accounting principles and techniques, making it suitable for people new to finance looking to develop an introductory level of knowledge and skills. This qualification covers areas such as costing, the principles of bookkeeping and double-entry while also introducing an understanding of the key business concepts such as contract law, the business environment and CSR.
Key themes, such as communication, ethics, technology and sustainability within the context of an accounting role are introduced within the qualification, ensuring your employees are equipped to deal with broader business activities and the developing industry.
Level 3 Diploma in Accounting
Our Level 3 Diploma in Accounting covers more complex accounting tasks, including maintaining cost accounting records and preparation of reports and returns. It also incorporates learning on the tax rules and regulations required by Botswana Unified Revenue Authority Services (BURS), including signing up for BURS e-Service, to ensure students are given the skills needed to undertake tax activities needed in your business.
Completing this qualification will enable your staff to master disciplines such as financial processes, advanced bookkeeping, and the preparation of financial statements. They will also be able to apply for bookkeeping membership and use the designatory letters AATQB after their name.
Level 4 Diploma for Professional Accounting Technicians
The Level 4 Diploma for Professional Accounting Technicians helps employers develop highly capable finance professionals with the advanced technical knowledge and commercial awareness needed to support business success. More than a progression qualification, it builds expertise across financial and management accounting, tax, and audit, while strengthening strategic thinking, analytical skills, and professional judgement.
