Thinking about a first job in accounts? This course walks through business types, debits and credits, daily entries, statements and VAT basics. Beginners start cold here, with no exams to sit.
Forty hours is enough to know if accounts suit you.
Run a small business? This is the part most owners dread.
Office staff who touch invoices get the method behind them.
Every business keeps books, so this work sits in firms of any size. A day is invoices in, entries posted, then a look at the ledger.
Keep the day to day entries moving.
Handle supplier bills and payments out.
Keep a small set of books straight.
Raise invoices and send them out.
Chase what customers still owe.
Match the bank against the books.
Support a finance team with paperwork.
Get the figures in, clean and fast.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.
Structures first, then the daily entries, then reports and VAT.
Three things that stand out.
You work in Xero, the software small firms run on.
You link up with the bookkeepers association, the IAB.
You earn CPD credits when you finish.
Plus CPD credits on completion
Issued by the college once you finish.
It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office.
Credits for your professional development.
New to accounts, or doing your own books.
An advisor runs through what is covered.
Upfront, or weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Enrol and open the first topic.
None at all. The course opens with what a business is.
About forty hours, and access runs six months.
None, ever. You work through the topics at your pace.
Yes. You get hands on with the software small firms use.
Yes, at a beginner level, including invoices and records.
Named accounting tutors, reachable by phone and email.
It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office. So the CPD credits count. That is industry backing, not a QQI award. It is not a national qualification. For a first accounts job, employers look at the method and the software.
There is a fourteen day money back window. The admin fee sits outside it.
This course is delivered by The Career Academy.

Picture the morning a set of books stops looking like code.
