Certified Accounting Technician (CAT)

Awarded by ACCA

 
 

 
Dublin Business School logo displays the motto “Excellence through Learning”. Our past students’ success is evidence of the partnership between Excellence and Learning that has grown and flourished at Dublin Business School (DBS) for over a quarter of a century.

DBS is the largest independent third level education institute in Ireland with in excess of 9,000 students per annum studying a wide and varied range of curricula. However, our roots are firmly based in preparing students for the rigorous demands of professional accountancy examinations.

DBS has established an enviable reputation for the quality of its professional accountancy courses and overall student success. The award of the ACCA Premier Plus Status helps verify our “Excellence through Learning” reputation. This award provides independent assurance that DBS meets the standards set down by ACCA for the delivery of outcome focused courses preparing our students for all levels of the professional examinations.

Over the last number of years, DBS students achieved over 720 prize winners at national and international level. Our prize winners are a bonus and we are proud to help celebrate their “excellence through learning”. All our students are important to us and we strive to ensure that as many as possible achieve success in the ACCA CAT examinations.

As a subsidiary of Kaplan Inc., the educational division of The Washington Post, DBS has engaged in an ongoing programme of developing and enhancing the facilities we provide as part of the learning experience. DBS’s lecture rooms provide you with a relaxed, informal study environment equipped with the tools necessary to deliver a product that appeals to individual learning styles, whilst promoting active learning. The entire second floor of our main City Centre campus building is exclusively dedicated to library and electronic learning resources to augment the traditional classroom delivery. These are all essential ingredients in achieving “Excellence through Learning” in ACCA CAT examinations.

We also provide study rooms; canteen; subsidised parking facilities and a dedicated administrative support team to ensure the whole process runs smoothly. We consistently remind ourselves that whilst you are primarily our students, you are also our customers as well. Therefore, we try to make the achievement of “Excellence through Learning” in the ACCA CAT examinations as user-friendly as possible for each and every one of you.
