Course: BAS Agent Registration Skill Set

If working as a BAS (Business Activity Statement) agent either for yourself or someone else appeals to you, this distance education course provides great preparation.

Specifically designed for distance learners, the course comprises two key competencies from the FNS10 Financial Services Training Package. These will train you in the skills required for BAS and payroll work, and fulfil the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) education requirements for BAS agent registration, although you should check with the TPB for details of other requirements, such as experience. Those providing BAS services will need to be registered by the TPB.

Our self-paced course allows you to start anytime, study online or by correspondence and progress quickly or take your time. Expert trainers are on hand with helpful feedback, and you'll have all the resources and tools of our OpenSpace online portal at your fingertips.
