NIA Program

The NIA Program is the only accounting program that leads to an internationally recognised Master of Commerce (Professional Accounting).

The program is delivered online by the University of New England (UNE), meaning you can develop your skills from anywhere in the world while you build your career. Leap ahead with the NIA Program and become a highly qualified accountant with a competitive edge.

Mentored Experience Program

The NIA Mentored Experience Program (MEP) produces rounded accounting professionals through a structured approach to workplace learning. During the program you work with an experienced accountant who mentors you through the beginning of your career. At the end of the MEP you will have gained skills and experience to help you reach your career goals.

If you’d rather be your own boss, the NIA can help you set up your own practice or help you become a partner in a firm. As an NIA Public Accountant you’ll have the required recognition in legislation and access to a range of tailored services to ensure your business is quickly established as a professional practice.
