Seychelles Institute of Management runs ACCA’s accountancy training course
On January 29, 2007, the Seychelles Institute of Management (SIM) will launch the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants’ (ACCA) part 3 course.
So, a high-level course for people who want to become chartered accountants will be in the Seychelles, which will be the first time in its history. To become a chartered accountant, now people do not have to visit the UK in order to complete part 3 of the ACCA training.
Previously, the Seychelles Institute of Management has been offering the ACCA part 1 and part 2. Part 3 is the Professional level divided into 2 modules – Essentials and Options. Both imply an intellectual expert level equivalent to a Masters degree.
It is also worth mentioning that training opportunities will be available to private and public sector at technician and professional levels.
The goal of upgrading accountancy training locally is helping the country to place less reliance on expatriates in the field of accountancy as well as to strengthen its professionally trained accountants. Reaching this goal will let the country become a financial centre of excellence.
