To ensure that learners have experience in the real world application of the theory we study, we also partnered with Xero as the largest and largest growing accounting software provider in Europe. Use of accounting software is woven into the courses at all levels, and our accounting learners are invited to become Xero Certified as well, it is likely that learners going on to work in finance offices will need to be familiar with cloud accounting.
