Accounting Professional Year Program

Take your Accounting skills to the next level!

Developed by CPA Australia, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and the Institute of Public Accountants, the Accounting Professional Year Program is delivered at our Perth campus, conveniently located in the heart of the CBD.

This program combines formal learning and internship to equip Accounting graduates for employment in the Accounting sector. Our internship provides practical skills and training to enhance students’ future employment opportunities.

Upon completion of the Accounting Professional Year Program, qualifying graduates may be eligible to receive additional points towards their permanent residency application under the Skilled Migration pathway, as specified by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).

Note - The awarding of points is entirely at the discretion of DHA and successful completion of APYP does not guarantee the awarding of Permanent Residency points.

If you have completed a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
