Study routes

The Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business consists of six modules. Assessments are available at approved test centres in many countries around the world, throughout the year.

Study options

Choose a study option to suit your preferred learning style and existing commitments.

Classroom tuition

Face-to-face learning provides the opportunity to ask questions and network with your peers. There are a number of tuition providers for you to choose from and learning materials are normally included in your course fee if you opt for classroom tuition.

Distance learning

If you are unable to attend classes, but would value the support of a tutor and peer-to-peer learning, distance learning offers a mix of tutor sessions and self-study support, and is offered by a number of tuition providers.

Online learning

This option is similar to distance learning, but is delivered online through live and recorded tuition sessions. This learning option uses online materials and resources that can be accessed anywhere in the world. A number of tuition providers offer this option.

Self-study

If you would prefer to study for the assessments independently, you can purchase the learning materials directly from our distributors, Gillards.

Blended learning

Alternatively, you may choose the learning option you prefer on a module-by-module basis, depending on the level of support you feel you need.
