Advanced Certificate in Accounting Courses (ACIA)
The Advanced Certificate in Accounting Program (ACIA), instituted in 1995, has proven extremely successful in providing accounting technicians with practical knowledge and experience vital to the growth and strength of CA firms. ACIA courses use a “distributed learning model” offered exclusively over the internet.
