A Holistic Approach to Technical Skills and Life Competencies | SA Accounting Academy

About this Course

Welcome to the Trainee Accountant Bootcamp, a meticulously designed course that goes beyond traditional accounting education. We offer a holistic learning experience aimed at transforming you into a well-rounded, highly competent accounting professional, equipped to thrive in today's fast-paced business landscape.

Why do employers choose one candidate over another when both candidates have similar tertiary education qualifications? Why is technical competency not the only gateway to success in the business world?

The answer to both questions lies in an individual's life skills. Today's cut-throat and fast-changing business world demands a lot more than what was required in the past.

This Work Readiness Bootcamp aims to give you those important life skills while honing out your technical skills at the same time. We cover topics such as Life-long Learning, Interactive Communication, Professional Skills, Managing your Personal Finances, Computer Basics, Fundamentals of Accounting, and Computerised Accounting Online.
