What is this course about?
The Level 2 accounting course follows on from the skills and knowledge gained from the Level 1 accounting course.

Students interested in a career in accounting, finance or any other business related field would benefit from studying accounting.

What sorts of things will I do?
You will build on the knowledge and skills learnt from level 1 accounting.

What standards can I enter?
These are the standards that are offered at Level 2 Accounting at ASHS. Please note that these standards are currently in draft format and may be subject to change. At the end of the year, NZQA will make these standards official.
