Before and after this course

Can I work as an assistant accountant after the course?
You learn the main entries and the paperwork. Employers usually ask for 1C as well, so many take “Accounting in 1C 8.3” next.
Can I get my money back if I change my mind?
Until the first lesson you get back everything you paid. After the start, the lessons not yet held are refunded, to the card within 10 working days. Cancel on the “Your enrolment” page with the number and your phone.
Can I move to another group?
Yes, once and free, until 3 days before the start: choose another group of the same course on the “Your enrolment” page.
