Honestly unsure how to rate this course. on one hand it was mostly clear, except one part that I had to turn to sources outside of this course in order to understand the material, but the rest was clear. Another issue throughout the entire course, is lack of consistency in volume, and that was quite irritating as the (annoying) voice of the main character that speaks in all videos was load and clear (even if annoying), others were so soft that even switching up the volume to its max was not loud enough, with or without headphones, and for one of the experts that spoke throughout the course, the voice was not steady - aka it got cut off frequently. The last part, I'm not sure if I did not notice this piece of info or if its really not up, but when I signed up for it, I had the understanding that it was all parts of it and not a bunch of courses that each one is split into however many sections (so far 4), so when I went into the intuit website that offers taking the test for free, and there was a huge gap, I was surprised, because I went from an average of 97.5% to a fail. It makes much more sense that there's more because I could not imagine being able to finish everything within less than one week, but decide I could try other options next. Now I know and it does make more sense, including knowing that I was not imagining that there were topics not covered here on the test.

This was an excellent course. I felt that the lectures and videos all explained the content very, very well. However, I have to remove one star because as a completely blind user, some of the exercises were inaccessible to me due to graphics, unlabeled fields, and a few procedures that none of our screen-reader software can navigate properly. I had to do some outright guesswork, complete most of the ungraded exercises and even one question on a quiz by deduction and guessing because I couldn't read the information in the pictures, even after I tried Window, Apple, and mobile devices. All the same, I managed to get through it, and though I'd like to see this fixed and would have appreciated doing all the practice work, I do believe that the course was fun and very informative. I also appreciated the humor in some of the videos and scenarios; I think you need a good laugh, even during classwork, and I haven't had so much fun in school since I took creative writing and a few history classes back in college or engaged in some hobby classes.

The course overall was very fun and informative. I took the course to refresh my bookkeeping skills and I actually learned a few things as I was taking this course. The pop quizzes were helpful for testing your knowledge. I appreciated hearing from actual bookkeeping professionals about their professions, how certain accounting principles may be applied, and how to make bookkeeping easier using Quickbooks. Their explanations of bookkeeping concepts were very easy to understand (at least most of the time); I think even someone with no bookkeeping knowledge can understand it. Bianca and Lou were very funny.

There were a couple issues I had and things I didn't like. I wasn't able to work on a few of the exercises because they wouldn't load. I was also very disappointed with the final project; I didn't get to do what I thought I would get to do, so it turned out to be unchallenging along with the final test :(.

The course was still good and it made me excited to do bookkeeping again.

I had to call my accountant about question #3 on the Bookkeeping basics Case Study Quiz. I took the quiz twice and was not able to apply the Journal information correctly. I found the answers by using math I learned in school solving reading problems . After taking the quiz a second time I called my accountant. He went over everything step by step. Pencil and paper is my friend. It appears to him that the correct answer to number 3 is not available on the quiz. Additionally, He suggested that excel could have been set up in a clearer manner that might have allowed me to process the information and better utilize the T model. I am not planning on pursuing bookkeeping. We have a small mom and pop business. My goal was to learn enough to know what questions to ask when I run into problems. My goal was met. I have a lengthy list of things in QBO to go over with my accountant. This review is not about QBO so I will leave my thoughts on that out.

For the most part this certificate class was decent. There are a few things that I wish were different. My number one desire would be to have more video illustrations of the various applications and scenarios of accounting in place of the Bookkeeper Video Clips because those were not very helpful in the scheme of what needed to be learned. Second, I wish there were handouts/worksheets that could be downloaded throughout the modules. The availability of "cheat sheets" were mentioned a couple of times but I never saw a link to anything other than the Excel Workbook that was needed for the final Quiz of the class. I also feel like the discussion questions were pointless. But all in all, I learned a lot. I hope that if I get approved for the FA to take the next course, the applications will become even clearer because I still don't feel fully confident in everything.

I took all four courses and passed the exam on the first try without any problem. But I was disappointed that Intuit's badge is just a green circle that says "Intuit Academy Bookkeeping Exam" instead of the previous badge for passing the exam which said "Intuit Certified Bookkeeping Professional" and matched the look of the ProAdvisor badges. This course is not about how to use QuickBooks. There are a few examples throughout the series but the real value is understanding accounting principles. The animations were a bit annoying for a professional with limited time who wants the course material without all the cutesy dialogue. But the information will be helpful to anyone pursuing a career in bookkeeping, especially if you interact with CPAs and tax accountants.
