Accounting Technician Course in Sligo

HOS 1997 · 2011-12-11 14:16:38

I've been googling with little success on this. Is there anywhere in Sligo or the surrounding areas that I could do this course on a part time basis? The nearest place running the course that I have found is Athlone and was hoping to do it somewhere more near hand.

You're right, I couldn't find any either.

Try this >> http://www.learnpipe.ie/vendor/pitman-training-sligo_PTCA9064/courses.htm?p=0

. . . or are you looking for 'free' courses only?

No, I will happily pay for the course. Thanks for the link but couldn't find what I was looking for on there.

I'd recommend giving the Sligo VEC crowd a phone call - they may be able to point you in the right direction.

Or, you might try one of the two Boards forums below . . .

Best of luck.

The guys who organises the Accounting Techncians course in Sligo VEC is Michael Burke. You can contact him on 071 913 8307 or email: mburke@sligovec.ie

Not too sure why they don't have the course on their website.

In case anyone is wondering, the next Accounting Technician course run by the VEC will be in September 2013.

If anyone knows any where close that is running it before then please let me know.

Thanks all.

I think the nearest part-time colleges would be Donegal town or Ballina - both a bit of a hike from Sligo though. You ever considered studying from home? ATI have a good correspondence learning programme and the students usually do well in the exams. See link below for more info:

I'd prefer classroom learning as opposed to a correspondence course.
