Aspiring accountants looking to start a career in finance can receive a series of six free online course samplers from the Open University Business School’s ACCA, CIPFA and CIMA-approved Certificate in Accounting by logging on to the school’s website at www.oubs.open.ac.uk.
Demand for the Certificate, launched last spring, exceeded the 500-place target, and the first 580 students began studying the new distance learning fast-track route into the accounting profession in September last year.
