Accounting and bookkeeping classes in Nevada

19 accounting and bookkeeping programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

9 schools offer these accounting and bookkeeping programs, and Nevada has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 8 of these 19 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

Bookkeeping and accounting clerks record and check financial data so an organization keeps complete, accurate books. Some employers want college classes or a degree in accounting, others hire people with a high school diploma and train them on the job; certification is not usually required.¹ Anyone paid to prepare or help prepare federal tax returns needs a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) from the IRS.²

In Nevada, 15 of the 19 programs take students without a high school diploma, 2 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 2 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 19 programs here are bookkeeping certificate or course (13 programs), accounting certificate (2 programs), QuickBooks and accounting software (2 programs), accounting (associate degree, 1 program), and 1 more of one other kind.

Where the Nevada accounting and bookkeeping program numbers come from

Which Nevada accounting and bookkeeping programs are on this list?

These are the accounting and bookkeeping programs Nevada approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).¹⁰ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Nevada offers.

How the prices and results of Nevada accounting and bookkeeping programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the Nevada figures?

We leave out the share working 6 months later for Nevada: its rates sit far below every other state's, and the counts suggest jobs were traced only for students whose training was publicly paid.
