“As a German accountant who came to Canada in the year 2000, I sought an easily accessible, sophisticated and affordable solution to gain knowledge of Canadian accounting rules and regulations. No other post secondary institution offered the same opportunity.
The unique combination of working, practicing and learning - through hands-on training in seminars and workshops, and through online courses with easy-to-follow course material that was challenging and effective - allowed me to build and expand my knowledge, resulting in increasing confidence and competence to build and grow my business.”
