Course Summary

Monarch Institute is one of very few registered training organisations (RTOs) to offer the Tax Practitioners Board approved courses required to become a registered BAS agent or a registered tax agent. We’re also included in a very select few accredited training providers listed by the world’s largest bookkeeping institute, the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers. In other words, they’re fit for what the industry is looking for.

Courses are delivered by skilled professionals, senior CPA and chartered accountants, registered BAS agents and bookkeepers. They have decades of combined experience across an extensive range of industries.

Study accounting or bookkeeping with us and you’ll get practical training that makes use of industry leading software. It’s all about making you job-ready from the moment you graduate.

The BAS and Payroll course has been designed to give you a preview of two of the most common sets of tasks that bookkeepers and accounting practitioners carry out. It’s great for staff in small businesses who are ready to step up and take on more responsibility with admin. Small business owners may also find it useful for reducing outsourcing costs in the long term. Alternatively, the course can be an eye-opening intro for those who are considering studying a full course in accounting or bookkeeping, but don’t want to take the plunge just yet.


Key opportunities include:
  • Certified bookkeeper

  • Registered BAS agent


IMPORTANT: Further requirements for becoming a registered BAS agent

This course is designed to be completed within 6 months.

Students who are highly motivated and well organised can complete the full course at an accelerated pace.

The key factors that influence course completion are a student’s experience, time availability, how fast they work and how committed they are!

Study online. With a difference.

You’ll get:

  • Easy-to-follow course materials

How does it work?

This course has been developed to give you absolute flexibility. Study on your couch, on public transport, on your break at work, out in the park – wherever and whenever you like. The best part is, with Monarch Institute, ‘online’ doesn’t mean ‘alone’. You’ll be backed by our trainers at every step along the way.


What support will I get?

Your trainer will be happy to contact you via phone, Skype, Zoom, TeamViewer, or email (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm). So you definitely won’t feel alone. You’ll also have access to our student Facebook groups, so you can discuss the material with other students. It’s a handy way to stay in touch with trainers and others in the same course.


Do you offer corporate workshops?

Yes. We’re the corporate training partner of choice for several large organisations. Our trainers can also conduct onsite training for groups of six staff or more. Corporate workshops can be scheduled for any location in Australia. Got a new satellite office with staff in need of training? Running a training retreat in an idyllic location (yes please!)? Our trainers can be there.

Corporate workshops are tailored to your organisation’s needs. Get in touch with our friendly course consultants for more information.

Assessment formats include:

  • Multiple-choice questions

  • Short-answer questions

  • Workplace scenarios

  • Calculation questions

  • Role-plays -video self-recording and upload of the file

  • Accounting software exercises

Supervised Assessments

The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) requires supervision arrangements for a portion of the assessments in the following units:

  • FNSTPB411 Complete business activity and instalment activity statements

  • FNSTPB412 Establish and maintain payroll systems

This supervision is provided by Monarch Institute as part of your course fee. We do not charge any additional supervision fees.

These 2 units contain 3 supervised assessments which include multiple choice questions and short answer or calculation questions. Each assessment is open book and you have up to 3 hours to complete each assessment.

Supervision for assessments can be booked as a scheduled Zoom session with Monarch invigilators once you commence your course. You will need a webcam on your device, as well as internet access.

Pathways

The BAS and Payroll course is a great way to prepare for a certificate or diploma level course. It’s a taster of what it’s like to study online – handy if you haven’t studied for a while. In a Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping or Diploma of Accounting, you’ll explore many more tasks and subtopics of accounting. But you’ll also be able to draw on the knowledge and thinking skills you picked up in this course. You may also be able to get credit for the two units you’ve completed as part of this course.
