Today I want to talk to you about certificate programs for accounting. If someone wants to go into accounting there's a number of ways that you can get qualified. Accountant usually will do the entry in the books on the transactions, keep track of taxes, help with financial analysis and things like that. And to get the training, normally they will have to go to some school or training that will take the minimal courses are about a year and the school you go to will give you a certificate of completion. Some of these schools, these certificates may count toward college credits, some of them may not. Certainly with some high school training and some additional courses beyond that, you can start with bookkeeping which is probably adequate for individual and very small businesses. As you get into higher level stuff of bigger businesses, medium sizes people, you will need better understanding of all the software and all the accounting techniques used today and all the terms. At the top end of this are the certified public accountants. They generally have to go to college for 4 years, take a battery of 4 tests which are very difficult, many do not pass all 4 tests the first time around and they have to have two years of experience to get certified. Why do you get certified? In larger corporations they require a certified public accountant when they prepare financial statements for investment or for banking or for investors it's necessary that all of the statements be certified by a certified public accountant to be credible."
