Answer 2

Why not? You may need work permits but they do not prevent anything much.

There is a private business school in Australia called the Hemingway Robertson Institute which does things like accountancy qualifications, it is based in Melbourne. Their qualifications are generally accepted in Australia and I think they do correspondence courses. Other public colleges run diplomas and degrees in accountancy and commercial subjects. These can be found in most of the larger cities and towns.
