On this course you will complete both the ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business and the QQI Level 6 Special Purpose Award in Payroll Techniques certified by IPASS, the Irish Payroll Association. These are industry standard qualifications and will provide you with opportunities for further and higher education progression within these two sectors.
This course is a 1-year (48-week traineeship). You will be on practical placement in the industry for 12 weeks, in various blocks, over the duration of the year, and the remainder of this course time will be completed within BCFE.
The academic entry requirements may be waived for mature applicants (21+).
Graduates may continue to study further ACCA qualifications whilst pursuing their careers in accountancy if they so wish.
Graduates of this programme may progress into employment and onto a career in the financial services sector, more than likely in accountancy or payroll roles, such as a trainee accountant, a trainee bookkeeper, or a payroll assistant.
