Accountancy is the practice of an accountant, and interested students are required to complete a required curriculum. A typical education may include classes in both accounting and finance and can be gained at institutions all over the world.

Courses are individual classes that can be taken at universities, colleges, junior colleges, and trade schools worldwide. For even greater flexibility, many schools also offer online classes. Students can take individual classes or pursue degree programs.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
