Program Updates
Our program continues to provide you with more advanced computing and reporting skills, to empower you to better analyze and report data to various stakeholders. We have added Excel Advanced and removed both Excel Introduction and Word Introduction. Furthermore, we have added Corporate Income Taxation to our existing Personal Income Taxation, as the course specifically deals with business taxation, and is an integral part of the business reporting requirements. Knowing which business expenses are tax deductible, will help in providing better bookkeeping. We are confident that these changes will give you yet another edge to succeed in this ever-competitive labour-market.
