Qualification Update

 Update for new learners

OP720303 Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting is closed to new learners for enrolment in 2023.

Over the last eighteen months our staff have been working collaboratively with Te Pūkenga and staff from the other polytechnics who offer accounting courses, to prepare to move to a unified Bachelor of Accounting programme.

As a result of this work, all institutions in the network of Te Pūkenga subsidiaries, will be progressively closing current accounting courses as we prepare to offer new courses being developed for the unified programme. 

The new unified accounting programme will also meet the
competencies required by the professional accounting bodies, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ) and CPA Australia.

If you are not currently enrolled in OP720303 Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting and wish to complete the requirements for professional membership, please obtain an assessment from either CAANZ or CPA Australia. Then contact us to talk to a Student Advisor who will be able to suggest how you can meet the requirements.
