Further study
When you successfully complete the Diploma of Accounting you are guaranteed entry into the Advanced Diploma of Accounting.
Alternatively, you may be eligible for entry into other RMIT vocational study or undergraduate programs.
This program is designed for those wishing to undertake further studies in accounting, having already completed entry level studies in the Certificate IV. It introduces students for the first time to a range of common accounting specialist job roles and provides the basis for articulation into the Advanced Diploma of Accounting.
Those gaining employment at the conclusion of this program are likely to work as bookkeepers/BAS agents, assistant accountants, payroll officers or accounts clerks.
Graduates from the Diploma are encouraged to undertake the Advanced Diploma of Accounting, particularly if they wish to ultimately pursue a career as a tax agent, but also if they wish to undertake higher education studies in a related Bachelor program.
