The Certificate IV in Accounting (FNS40611) provides you with an opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge in fundamental accounting practices. It is one of two starting points at AIPE for training in accountancy. The course involves learning about support functions in the finance industry, with a special emphasis on creating and generating a range of financial reports for different clients. This is also a pathway program to the Diploma of Accounting (FNS50210).

On successful completion of this course, a student should be able to:

• Provide non-professional accounting services to meet client needs
• Demonstrate their ability to generate a range of financial reports to industry standard
• Carry out business activity and instalment activity tasks

Delivery mode

• Blended learning solution: Face-to face classroom based training, with 25% of the total course delivered online through AIPE’s eLearning portal.
• Online delivery available for domestic Australian students.

The basis of our assessment strategy is to provide you with the means to demonstrate that you have the knowledge and skills to undertake real-world activities to a current industry standard. In each subject there is a similar pattern of assessment. There are specific assessment tasks such as projects, case studies and reports, there will be an interview with your tutor, and an online final exam. To pass each subject, you must successfully complete all the tasks set for you. Importantly, you will also be graded on your skills (where appropriate) such as communication, problem-solving, leadership, organizing and planning and teamwork. These skills are critical in distinguishing yourself in job interviews and in the workplace.
