In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, having a solid foundation in accounting and finance is more critical than ever. Whether you’re a high school graduate, a university graduate, a career changer, or someone returning to the workforce, PwC’s Academy Business Professionals Certificate (BPC) offers an exceptional opportunity to gain essential accounting and finance knowledge, even without a prior background in these fields.
What is the Business Professionals Certificate?
The PwC’s Academy Business Professionals Certificate (BPC) is a meticulously designed program that aims to equip individuals with fundamental knowledge of accounting and finance principles. This certificate is particularly beneficial for those looking to enhance their business understanding, improve decision-making, facilitate communication, increase career opportunities, and gain practical skills that are directly applicable in the workplace.
The BPC program is structured over 21 months and consists of six comprehensive modules. Each module is designed to provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills in specific areas of accounting and finance. A stand-alone certificate is awarded upon the completion of each module, and upon completing all six modules, participants receive the prestigious Business Professionals Certificate.
Why did we create it?
In short, the certification is a medium level certification and it is addressed to people who want to learn the business basics related to the Cyprus market but are not interested in pursuing a professional qualification.

The BPC program is tailored for:
- High school graduates: Kickstart your career with essential accounting and finance skills.
- University graduates: Complement your degree with vital business knowledge.
- Career changers: Transition smoothly into new roles with a solid financial foundation.
