Program overview
The Accounting certificate at SAIT in Calgary builds the practical accounting and bookkeeping skills employers need. In one year you’ll learn financial and managerial accounting basics, payroll, spreadsheets and accounting software.
It’s a fast route into accounting-support roles and ladders into a business diploma. (Note: not currently PGWP-eligible.)

Do you qualify?
