Are we associated with a Career Academy in New Zealand?
NO, definitely not. Some students have confused us with the Career Academy that is head quartered in New Zealand and has been charged with 33 counts of misleading and deceptive advertising. We have no association with this organisation at all.
Is the Career Academy accredited with IAB or ICEOS?
No. We explored these websites and the IAB appears to be in someone’s home in the US and the ICEOS website contact page only has a form and when you do a whois search to see who owns the domain name every contact detail comes up as “Redacted for privacy”.
True accreditation for accounting and bookkeeping in Australia is provided by ASQA and only Registered Training Organisations can deliver and assess Nationally Recognised courses. We partner with Think Academy in Melbourne for any Nationally Accredited Courses such as the Cert IV in Bookkeeping.
123 Group Pty Ltd and Workface Career Academy are NOT accredited with IAB, nor ICEOS and have no plans to join these websites. We do have team members who have vocational and tertiary qualifications in Accounting and Bookkeeping. Some of them may also be members of Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Accreditation programs.
