Qualifications for everyone.
As one of the world’s leading providers of online and distance education, Cengage Education offers a wide range of courses, assembled to provide students of all backgrounds with the boost they need to achieve their goals. Whether you want a vocational qualification to help you towards that dream career, or something more personal to enhance your time outside of work, you’ll find we have plenty of choice.
Cengage Education’s range of qualifications cover many levels of learning:
- Statement of Attainment – contributes to a full qualification
- Certificates – nationally recognised and industry standard qualifications that give you the essentials of the subject
- Diplomas – nationally recognised and industry standard qualifications that build on your knowledge with a view to promotion
- Degree - our Bachelor of Accounting degree is government recognised and accredited
- Enrichment courses – for personal or professional development or to enhance pastimes
Eligible bachelor degrees.
Cengage Education currently offers a Bachelor of Accounting degree via distance learning. Created in association with the National Institute of Accountants, this fully attested qualification amply prepares you to practise as a professional accountant.
We intend to venture yet further into degree-level distance education. Cengage Education is currently developing ideas for further degrees, including a Bachelor of Business qualification. These will, like all our courses, be available to complete via the convenience of distance learning.
Improving your job prospects.
Embarking on any course is something of an investment – not only of money but also of time. You want to know that your investment will pay off, that any course you enrol in will help you take that next step in both your life and career.
Cengage Education’s qualifications can help provide that pay-off no matter where you are in your career. Each of our qualifications improve your job prospects on some level:
- Certificate I – provides generic skills in the subject
- Certificate II – prepares you to start work at entry level
- Certificate III – allows you to start work with some independence
- Certificate IV – can work with only minor supervision
- Diploma – training for a supervisory role
- Advanced Diploma – training for a managerial role
- Degree – professional training

Picking the right qualification.
There are many things to take into consideration when deciding which qualification is right for you – the main one being what you want to achieve from your study. You may want to enhance your chances of promotion, or a job you want may require a specific qualification. Our qualifications can also help you on the path to further study.
Practical considerations will also play an important part in your decision. Each course has different durations of study and, as flexible as the courses are, students need to be able to commit their time. There’s also the financial element, and we offer different methods of payment to suit different situations.
