Accounting and bookkeeping classes in Utah

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

4 schools offer these accounting and bookkeeping programs, and Utah has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

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 Utah, 1 of the 5 programs takes students without a high school diploma, 1 asks for a diploma or equivalent and 3 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 5 programs here are bookkeeping certificate or course (4 programs) and accounting (associate degree, 1 program).

How to pay for accounting and bookkeeping classes in Utah

WIOA funding can pay for accounting and bookkeeping classes in Utah

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for accounting and bookkeeping classes

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.78

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Utah accounting and bookkeeping program numbers come from

Which Utah accounting and bookkeeping programs are on this list?

These are the accounting and bookkeeping programs Utah 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 Utah offers.

How the prices and results of Utah 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 Utah figures?

We leave out the share working 6 months later for Utah: its rates sit far below every other state's.
