Accounting at a college (no degree needed)
You can study accounting at a college, not only a university. Public TVET colleges offer accounting and finance courses (NCV Finance and N-courses). Private colleges offer ICB bookkeeping and accounting qualifications, which you can even start without matric. These lead to bookkeeper and accounting-technician jobs, and you can study up from there. To become a Chartered Accountant (CA), you need a university degree.
