Knowledge of accounting is a prerequisite.

You will gain basic knowledge of data processing in accounting with the DATEV program. After the course, you will be able to deal competently with accounting processes.

The course also offers you a systematic introduction to tax law and business taxation. You will acquire in-depth knowledge of company-related taxation and the legal foundations. Everything is considered in a practical way and in the context of the overall business management of a company and explained using the DATEV software.

The course is aimed at all persons with commercial or legal training, persons from financial accounting and bookkeeping, tax consultants, auditors, entrepreneurs and law firm employees.

With your newly acquired knowledge and skills, you will improve your career opportunities across all sectors. Bookkeeping and accounting specialists are in demand from companies in industry, trade, services and finance: according to the manufacturer, around 2.5 million medium-sized German companies rely on DATEV's information services.

In addition, companies today rely on employees who are very familiar with the current, often confusing and complicated tax law.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
