College Certificate - Bookkeeping (2906)

The College Certificate - Bookkeeping at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Toronto is a one-year college certificate that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.

This one-year certificate builds job-ready bookkeeping skills — recording transactions, payroll, spreadsheets, accounting software and financial basics — through hands-on practice. Graduates work as bookkeepers, accounting and payroll clerks and accounts assistants in businesses of all sizes, or support their own small-business ventures.

Delivered at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Scarborough, Toronto. Note that this field is not among the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so the program may not support a Post-Graduation Work Permit — if working in Canada after graduation matters to you, confirm the current position on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list and with IRCC before applying.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Bookkeeper, Accounting Clerk and Payroll Clerk, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.

Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
