Overview

This qualification is designed to reflect the job roles of workers in the accounting industry, including BAS Agents and contract bookkeepers; and of those employees performing bookkeeping tasks within a range of industries.

A Business Activity Statement (BAS) service is a tax agent service that includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Preparing and lodging business and instalment activity statements.

Giving a taxpayer advice about a BAS provision that the taxpayer can reasonably be expected to rely upon to satisfy their taxation obligations; or

Dealing with the Commissioner on behalf of a taxpayer in relation to a BAS provision.

Persons providing a BAS service for a fee or other reward must be registered by the Tax Practitioner’s Board and this qualification is currently cited as meeting the educational requirements for registration. Other conditions apply including a designated period of experience. Persons seeking BAS agent registration should check current registration requirements with the Board as this is regularly reviewed.

  • POTENTIAL CAREER OUTCOMES

    BAS Agent
    Small Business Bookkeeper
    Contract Bookkeeper
    Accounts Administration
    Accounts Clerk
    Payroll Officer
    Accounts Payable/Receivable Officer
    Debtors Clerk

  • PATHWAYS

    Pathways for participants considering this qualification include; previous completion of the Certificate III in Accounts Administration or similar, or experience as a bookkeeper without the formal qualification.
  • COURSE DELIVERY

    There are two different delivery modes that students can choose from for this course.

    Distance Learning
    Distance learning allows students to have the flexibility of completing their course at their own pace, at times to suit work and other life commitments. Avoiding commutes, classrooms and rigid timetables are just a few good reasons to undertake distance learning. When you study via distance learning, you will be studying via workbooks. Distance learning is perfect for students that prefer to have hard copy resources.

    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that involves making a judgement on the skills and knowledge an individual has as a result of past study and/or experience. The aim of RPL is to recognise your existing competencies without having to go through the complete process of training and assessment. You will still need to provide evidence though, upon which your assessor can base their judgement. Evidence must be:
    Authentic – it must be your own work
    Sufficient – it must demonstrate competence over a period of time, that the competencies can be repeated, and the evidence must be enough so that the assessor can make an accurate judgement regarding competency
    Current – it must demonstrate up-to-date knowledge and skills i.e. from the present or very-recent past
    Valid – it must be relevant to what is being assesses

    You may be eligible to apply for RPL on one or more Units of Competency in this course. Please contact our administration department on 1300 946 309 to discuss your RPL options.

  • COURSE COMMENCEMENT

    QTS does not have set course commencement dates meaning individuals can enrol and commence their chosen course at any time.
  • COURSE DURATION

    QTS courses are self-paced. Enrolments are valid for 12 months (full time) or 24 months (part time).

    How long your course will take depends on a number of factors. Included are your own efforts and commitment to submitting assessments regularly and on time, your study load (e.g. full or part time) and how many units (if any) are eligible for credit transfer and/or recognition of prior learning.

  • ASSESSMENT

    Assessment formats within this Diploma include;

    Case studies
    Short answer questions
    Role plays
    Reports
    Projects
    Work Samples

    Please note: FNSTPB401 Complete business activity and instalment activity statements and FNSTPB402 Establish and maintain payroll systems are designed to meet the education requirements of the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB). Where registration with the TPB is sought, assessment must reflect the conditions described by the regulator which stipulate that a significant amount (40%) must be completed under some form of independent supervision. 

  • STUDENT SUPPORT

    QTS is dedicated to providing a high standard of service to our students. You can contact your trainer/assessor for help in understanding how to complete your assessments. They are happy to support you and can be contacted through our office on 1300 946 309 or directly via their email address which will be provided once you are enrolled.
