Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about distance learning, accreditation, and course enrolment.

  • With an accounting qualification from StaySharp, you can work in a range of accountancy job roles, from auditor to chartered accountant to tax adviser. Should you want a career change from accounting at any point, accounting qualifications can even be used to get into a range of in demand jobs such as a stockbroker or mortgage adviser.

  • If you want to learn a new career but are unable to study at university, a career in accounting or HR would be ideal for you. You can practice jobs within both these careers without a degree if you have secured the appropriate alternative qualifications, such as the CIPD, CIMA, ACCA and AAT qualifications offered by StaySharp.

  • There are no shortage of in-demand jobs within the accountancy and HR careers. Both accountants and HR personnel play an important part in the running of any organisation, meaning that training to work in either of these roles is a very worthwhile time investment for your career. HR and accountancy are two of the best careers in the UK for those looking for jobs which are exciting, secure and always in demand.

  • For many StaySharp courses, there are no formal qualifications or prior experience required, meaning those who left education after completing their A Levels are able to become qualified through their chosen accountancy or HR careers without a degree.

  • Even if you did not study a subject in a relevant field, you can get into accountancy and HR jobs with any degree as long as you have acquired other necessary qualifications, such as the CIPD, CIMA, ACCA and AAT qualifications offered at StaySharp.

  • There’s likely one question on your mind if you have a failed degree – ‘now what?’. At StaySharp, we don’t exclude those who have not studied at university or even those who have dropped out from or failed their university degree. As long as you have a willingness to learn a new career, are over 16 and have been educated to GCSE level, there is a course on our site for you.

  • Most StaySharp students are able to begin climbing their chosen career ladder after receiving the accreditation, certification or qualification they have studied for. The time it takes to complete each course varies depending on the course you are taking and the hours that you are able to commit to your studies.
