While there are no prerequisites to take this course, you should be comfortable using a personal computer and be familiar with operating Windows Office software. Additionally, IOFM recommends that you meet one of the following for the (APS) certification:
English Requirement
If English is your second language, a TOEFL, IELTS or MELAB score is required. A minimum total score of 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL (reading, listening, writing & speaking), 6 on the IELTS and 78 on the MELAB is required. Bellarmine's TOEFL code number is 1056. This requirement can be waived if you have been schooled in an English speaking country for at least one year or you have received a diploma from a recognized English language program.
ACT or SAT. Students for whom English is a second language and have outstanding language skills may submit either ACT (21 composite or higher) or SAT (1060 or higher) scores in lieu of other evidence.
Accounts payable specialists are key members of any organization, ensuring bills and commitments are paid on time, accurately and completely. Many AP specialists rely on software like Microsoft's Excel 2019 program to collect, track and update important financial data. This online course will prepare you for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Expert certification exam for Excel 2019 and award you an Accounts Payable Specialist (APS) certification upon successful course completion. APS is an associate-level certification offered Institute of the Finance & Management (IOFM), which demonstrate your understanding of invoices, payments, T&E, Automation and other key financial functions.
