ProAdvisor Academy

Use the following sections within the Academy to manage your training and certifications.

  • My Hub: Continue any certification enrollments you’ve started. A progress bar shows how many learning courses you’ve completed within an enrollment.
  • Programmes: Enroll in Intuit certification programmes and level up as you go.
  • Learn: View an alphabetical list of all learning courses as well as webinars you can register for. Completing courses here doesn’t grant badges or certifications unless you’re enrolled in that certification programme. ProAdvisor Academy grants your badges and certifications automatically, if you complete the Learn courses first and then enroll in the programme.

  • If your certification expires, you lose the points earned when you became certified.
