New self-paced study for advisors

This year, we are making some very exciting changes to our courses for accountants and bookkeepers. Currently QuickBooks Online (QBO) certification takes approximately 6 hours to complete, but we’re excited to announce that you can now get Core or Advanced Certified in less than 2 hours dependent on your current certification status.

You’ll be able to quickly learn features in easy-to-follow, 3-minute bite-sized videos at your own pace. There will be three courses to follow, and afterwards you can view QBO specialty topics in a fourth course. This will allow you to grow your business by maximising your potential in QBO. Our new self-paced study courses will be launching February 2019.
