By successfully passing tests that cover six subjects, signing a code of ethics, and demonstrating two years' experience in bookkeeping, students earn the right to put \"CB\" after their name. The experience requirement may be completed before or after the national examination. National certification distinguishes students from other bookkeepers because it proves that they have met high national standards and demonstrated the ability to handle all of the books for a small- to medium-sized business. Lake Tahoe Community College offers the following three courses which can be completed in one academic year to help students prepare for this national certification.\n\n### Program Learning Outcomes\n\n-   Apply critical and analytical thought in diverse business situations.\n\n-   Identify the basic principles of the disciplines which comprise the major.\n\n-   Identify and apply basic financial analysis tools and critical business skills needed to plan and manage strategic activities.\n\n### Program Requirements"
