StrongerBC Future Skills Grant

StrongerBC Future Skills Grant

Application to the StrongerBC Future Skills Grant and registration to the Short-Certificate in Advanced Accounting program has opened for the next semester (January - April 2025). 

The Advanced Accounting Short Certificate Program is comprised of five advanced accounting courses:

  1. BSAD 3000 Financial Accounting 4
  2. BSAD 1060 Taxation 1
  3. BSAD 1064 Auditing 1
  4. BSAD 2006 Strategy for Financial Managers
  5. BSAD 1057 Management Accounting 2

Each course above has required course prerequisites. Students registering for the program will need to satisfy the respective course prerequisites in order to register for the course(s), meaning students will need to have taken prior lower level accounting courses. If the prerequisite was completed outside of Langara Continuing Studies, students will need to request for prerequisite approval by submitting the Prerequisite Approval Form along with official transcript from the institution where the coursework was completed.
