Re: inquiry about two years full time study
It could act as a pathway to degree, i.e. transfer to second year of three year Accounting degree, which maybe required for skills recognition? Or look up http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...e-overseas.htm

Re: inquiry about two years full time study
From the Immigration website:
So, lasting for 104 weeks, it looks like it would be acceptable for the two years study requirement.
However, you might also want to check if the course qualifies you for the appropriate skills assessment. According to the Institute for Chartered Accountants in Australia
An advanced diploma from TAFE isn't going to be enough to satisfy that.
There are two main components of the Australian study requirement.
You must have studied for a minimum of at least 16 calendar months within Australia in a course registered with the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS)
and
You must have completed two (2) academic years of study, which is 92 weeks of registered study.
All of which must contribute towards the award of an acceptable qualification that is closely related to the occupation you nominate on your General Skilled Migration application.

To be considered suitable for any of the occupations assessed by the Institute for the purpose of migration, applicants must hold formal qualifications assessed as at least comparable to the level of an Australian Bachelors degree, and have adequate coverage of core knowledge areas required for the occupation.
