Prerequisites

Prerequisites

In order to enroll in a course, students must meet individual course prerequisites. Courses which have no prerequisites are open to all students. For courses with prerequisites, students must complete the prerequisite with minimum grade of C+ or 65% before they can take the course.

If the prerequisite was completed outside of Langara Continuing Studies, students will need to request for either prerequisite approval or exemption. Please complete an Exemption/Prerequisite Approval Form and submit with official transcripts from the institution where you completed the prerequisite course(s). 

Note: If you are are interested in taking Sage 300-1 (CSFW 1004), Quickbooks 1 (CSFW 1030) or Sage 50-1 (CSFW 1000) for personal development or interest, and do not wish to pursue the Professional Bookkeeper Certificate, you may register in the course without requesting approval. However, if you are seeking to obtain the certificate, you must first complete the prerequisite of Bookkeeping - Level 1.
