T​his course was well put together. I used to feel so intimidated by finances. The interactive videos and practice exercises do a fantastic job of explaining concepts learned throughout this course.

The course was set up very well but, I would have just preferred to have some sort of workbook that allowed us practice with every aspect of documentation. Repetition makes me better.Thank you.

I have been paying for classes with an online college and even though the information is the same, those class videos are 8+ years old and difficult to understand. I immediately grasped the information with this course though.

The course gave an adequate overview of the subject matter and provided relevant examples. I would recommend the student also review the introductory chapters of an accounting book to ground key concepts and do more examples.

I think this was a great beginner's course to breakdown some initial bookkeeping concepts. I was able to use some of the knowledge I learned already on the job and excited to dive into the next set of certification modules.

This course is focused on practice and has excellent accounting content. The professionals in the area pass on their knowledge in a very simple way and the insertions with the use of Quickbooks are very clear and objective.

The only thing missing is a trial in completing the entire bookkeeping cycle. A little more practice preparing journal entries, general ledger, trial balances, and profit and loss statement would be most helpful. :-)

Even though I have taken college accounting courses, I learned a new, easier way to do things here. A bookkeeper's perspective is a little different from an accountants, so I am so grateful to have had this course!

This was a refresher course I had already taken a Financial Accounting course last year for my Undergraduate Certificate so I knew most but not all of the information. I enjoyed this course. On to the next course!

I am enjoying the videos they are interesting and engaging. The real world practice exercises are helpful. I would like if there was a way to ask someone a question if you don't understand something though.

A helpful introduction into the "why" behind the journal entries we do. It helps folks like me to understand what goes on in the background (chart of accounts) every time I enter something into the books.

It's a great course to begin the courses. I it made me learn a lot of things. just wish there could be more hands on the actual Quickbooks pages since, I like more hands on more task of learning.
