This short-term certificate of proficiency provides specialized knowledge in the area of governmental and not-for-profit accounting methods for the skilled worker. It is unlikely that employers will hire students who have only completed this certificate of proficiency; coursework may be applied toward a one-year certificate or a two-year AS degree in accounting.
