Online practice

Hello,@dan1316. We are excited to have you in our community.

To practice online, you can choose between your personal subscription or the practice site, depending on your specific needs.

The advantage of using your own subscription when performing activities is that you can work with your actual business data. This allows you to practice using the software in a real-world context and see how the changes made affect your financial information.

On the other hand, using the test drive/practice site or free trial provides a safe and controlled environment for learning and experimenting with QBO. You can explore the features and functionalities of QBO without the risk of making mistakes that could impact their actual business data.

In case you need more information, you can refer to this article: QuickBooks Online Education Exercises— Green Tree Landscapes.

Here are some useful articles related to QuickBooks training that you can refer to in the future:

• ProAdvisor certification course and exam updates.

If you consider to use your real data to practice, use a backup restore app to lower any risks.

So, I'm replacing my name and logo with Green Tree Landscapes?

What do I do with all this info in my QB when I'm finished with the practice? Does it all get erased and restored to my account?

Hello, @dan1316.

You can use our sample company demo if you want to try out QuickBooks Online (QBO) without risk. This allows you to test all the features and options you might not feel comfortable using in your QBO account. You can explore and experiment as much as you like. The demo system doesn't save any of the changes you make. 

It's important to note that a credit card will be required to sign up for this method. Be sure to cancel the subscription after you finish practicing to avoid being charged.

You may refer to this link if you wish to use it: Test drive QuickBooks Online.

Additionally, to further assist you with your questions about the training, you need to contact our Support Team. They are equipped with the tools that will give you further assistance you require. Go to this link: QuickBooks Training Support.

Here are some articles on the available feature and how to transfer your list to QBO:

If you have any questions on how to manage your QBO account, please leave a comment on this thread. Have a good day!

I already paid the training fee ($700), and the monthly subscription fee ($30), is this an additional charge?

I used the test drive link you sent and it put me into my personal account. I'm sorry, I'm just not clear on where I'm supposed to be, to do this learning exercise, and I feel like there's a lot of ambiguity and unclear links and directions. Can you please clarify how I can start doing these practice exercises, please?

Thanks

Hello there, dan1316.

I apologize for any confusion. Let me address your questions and clarify the process for you.

To access the online education exercises for Green Landscapes, you can use the practice site within QuickBooks Online (QBO). This site is for learning purposes.

When you finish the exercises and replace your name and logo, the information will not be automatically erased or restored to your account. You'll have to manually update your subscription account with the changes you made during the practice exercises.

Furthermore, the training fee of $700 and a monthly subscription of $30 that you have already paid should cover the cost of accessing the online education exercises. There should not be any additional charges for participating in the course.

To start doing the learning exercise, access the practice site in the incognito window so that it will not route to your account. It'll provide you with a dedicated environment for learning and practicing without affecting your account.

Additionally, you can visit the write-ups below. These will provide you links on how to manage your QBO account as well as a brief video to serve as your visual guide:
