So, whether you dream of working in the finance department of a blue-chip company or you see yourself flying solo and contracting out your specialised bookkeeping skills to other small businesses, INTEC’s qualifications will help you to reach your goal.

Like to work with numbers? Want to follow a career in Bookkeeping?

Programme TypeINTEC offers three types of programmes, namely National Qualifications, Provider Programmes, and Agent Programmes: National Qualifications are credit bearing qualifications registered on the NQF and accredited by a Quality Assurance Body.

Provider Programmes are unique to INTEC and are designed to increase and enhance your skills and knowledge within your chosen field.

Agent Programmes are programmes and qualifications for which INTEC offers tuition, but where INTEC does not issue the final certificate (the agent body issues the final certificate).
