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.

I live in Canada and I can't pass the exam and also get a certificate. Why did I study with you then? You should have informed me at the beginning of the training that I wouldn't be able to pass the exam and get a certificate, since I'm not in the United States. I feel sorry for my time.

a lot of talking and not enough practice. the only practical application you get to do is at the very end and they dont even let you know if you did it right. the course is far to concerned with a made up story that doesnt really help you understand the concepts they are trying to teach.

It is a sales pitch to sign up for intuit academy. Lots of accounting terminology and not much actual quickbooks instruction. They just want you to sign up for their software anyways. Oh and you cannot get the certificate until you pay for Coursera. So it's pointless.

When I signed up for these classes, nowhere did it say that I would have to have specific subscription to take these tests to complete the course work! I have just spent hours watching videos and all other work and NOW I can not take the test because of the cost!

This course can't even get the basic definitions of debit and credit correct. It keeps listing money flowing into an account as credit when it should be debit, according to every other reputable course in existence.

I had to stop watching it after the first 5 videos. Presentation of the content like for 5 year olds with animations and of course a WOKE character that talks like she's on the street. Not professional at all...

for the most part the information is clear but just give the information i do not want this cute framing stuff that just adds time and does not cover the information better

Course was confusing. questions on test did not reflect material covered in class. I do not recommend spending your money on this course. On the job training is better.

The content is great. The narrative is horrible. It's cheesy. The accent is annoying. I like the concept but the entire thing is ruined by the horrible narration.

Why would you show how to use Quickbooks, then have an excel spreadsheet for the case study that doesn't have at least the formulas when entering info?

It is a waste of time; why do all the videos that I have seen so far from module 1 have 70% filler and only 20 % content? The 10 % being questionable!

Not for someone who already knows the basics. The course is a very beginner level & does not provide the depth of any topic, just an overview.

What a waste of time. So much of this course was useless filler. The person who approved this should be ashamed of themselves.

This is misleading. The Bookkeeping Certification exam is not free.
