As the finance industry advances with new technologies and practices, we ensure you learn the critical skills involving payroll systems, BAS statements, computerised accounting, reporting, and a whole lot more.

Upon completion of your Diploma, you can achieve entry with credit for prior learning into the Bachelor of Commerce at Deakin University.
The Diploma of Accounting will save you thousands if you are considering going to university. Now that's a really good reason to start your accounting journey with The Gordon!

“I originally started at The Gordon to obtain my BAS agent registration but enjoyed studying so much that I’m still going. I feel there is a growing demand for accountants both in Geelong and Melbourne and I want to be part of this in the years ahead.
I really enjoyed the hands-on style of learning tafe accounting and the teachers at The Gordon were brilliant. We had great ratios and they really ensured we understood all the concepts in our classes. Their industry knowledge really gave our learning an extra edge.
When I finished at The Gordon, I looked at a lot of pathway courses and Deakin had a really broad scope in their Bachelor of Commerce. I received 12 credits which wiped off half my course. The structure of studying at The Gordon was easy to replicate at university and the teachers prepared us for the difference,
making the transition really smooth.”
