Earn your QuickBooks Desktop certification

Upon successful completion of the QuickBooks Desktop Certification, you'll advance to the Gold Tier and receive the following valuable benefits:

• Unlimited U.S.-based phone and chat support from 6 a.m.-6 p.m., PT, Monday-Friday.
• Your profile listed on the QuickBooks’ Find-a-ProAdvisor Website, where there are more than 700,000 visits annually from potential unique clients looking for a local expert.
• The ability to distinguish yourself and build credibility by having authorized use of the Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor Logo on your website and marketing materials.
• Eligibility for CPE credits¹
• Benefit from Intuit’s® proactive marketing campaigns to connect QuickBooks users with Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors.
• The opportunity to gain additional Certifications, including certification in QuickBooks Enterprise and QuickBooks Desktop Advanced.

• With 120 questions, this exam will take most people between three to four hours to complete.
• The exam is broken into three sections of 35 questions each, and a fourth section with 15 questions.
• You can complete the sections in any order you like.
• You must complete each section with a minimum passing score of 80%.
• You have four attempts to pass each section.
• After your first attempt, subsequent attempts to pass any section of this exam will include only the test items that were answered incorrectly in the previous attempt.
• Each question is saved as you progress to the next question.
• You may exit the exam at any time and your progress will be saved (this is helpful for those who need to complete the exam experience in more than one sitting). All your progress is saved, so that when you return, you just start from where you left!
• If you fail after all four attempts, you must wait one year from your last try before attempting the exam again. Use that time to review the self-paced training modules and practice within the product to prepare for your next attempt.

There are ten optional modules, and each one is offered for CPE credit¹. By popular request, one of the modules focuses entirely on just “What’s New in QuickBooks 2018” for you and your clients.

You may take the training modules before the exam, after the exam, in between attempts or not at all – your choice entirely. Certification doesn’t depend on you taking the optional training – they're there simply to help you learn what you need to learn.

Additionally, these training modules remain in your Certification Center until the 2018 Certification is sunset. You can take them at any time before then.

The certification exam helps you discover what skills you need to brush up on, you might choose to use your first attempt as an assessment (remember, you get FOUR attempts to achieve a passing grade of 80% on the exam).

If this sounds good to you, go directly to your exam and see how you do. If you pass, you are done!

If you do not pass, no worries. If you require subsequent attempts to pass any section of this exam, your re-test will include only the test items that were answered incorrectly. You can then take just the training that you need, and use your remaining three attempts to pass the exam at 80%.

Alternately, you could choose to take all the training and then take the exam. The best part is that you get to determine your own learning path, and we let you know where you might need training!

Things to know

• If you currently hold 2016, but not 2017 QuickBooks Desktop certification, you may choose to take your 2017 certification first before the 2018 certification.
• Doing so will allow you to save even more time by taking the shorter 2018 Re-Certification exam, while helping you become eligible for the QuickBooks Desktop Advanced Certification Exam.
• You must hold 2016 and 2017 QuickBooks Desktop certification to have access to the Re-Certification exam.

There are ten optional modules, and each one is offered for CPE credit2. By popular request, one of the modules focuses entirely on just “What’s New in QuickBooks 2018” for you and your clients.

Alternately, you could choose to take all the training (or maybe just some of it – your choice) and then take the exam.

The best part is that you get to determine your own learning path, and we let you know where you might need training!

Things to know:

If you have passed your 2016 Certification, we recommend taking the 2017 Certification first, so that you can take the 2018 re-certification exam. The re-certification exam can be accomplished in half the time.
