ProAdvisor Exam

I appreciate your interest to participate in the QuickBooks ProAdvisor exam, @AmrutaC.

There are selected countries (i.e., UK, US, and Singapore) for international versions who can take the ProAdvisor program. For India, we only offer Webinars and training videos for you to share with your clients and introduce them to QuickBooks.

However, you may sign up for the QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA) US account using a dummy address. Then, create your profile to become a QuickBooks ProAdvisor. 

Once sign up, you can access the ProAdvisor training courses and the exam portal. To begin the training, go to the ProAdvisor menu and click on the Training tab. Here you'll find the find courses for all the QuickBooks products to prepare you for the exams. Please see the screenshots below for your reference.

After passing the exam, you're able to access your badge on the Training & certification history page. You can also refer to this article to know more about this: Certification History and Badges.

Also, you can maintain your certified status by taking the re-certification test for ProAdvisors. To know more about this, you can check out this article: Renewing your QuickBooks Online Certification. It also includes answers to the most frequently asked questions about re-certification.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. If you have other concerns about the QuickBooks ProAdvisor exam, I'm just around to help. Take care always.

How do I sign in using a dummy address? Is it a dummy email id that you are talking about?

Thanks for the information.

I signed in to Quickbooks but it asked me for Firm name and Zip Code. I did not have the details so I closed the tab. When I signed in again, it gave me the following screen:

• Sign in to QuickBooks Self-Employed
• Sign up for a free trial of QuickBooks Online Simple Start, Essentials, or Plus
• Sign up for a QuickBooks Accountant account
• If you have a QuickBooks Online company or a QB Accountant account, then your account information is tied to a different email address or user ID.
  Sign in or Recover your user ID

If I try to Sign In to Quickbooks Self-employed, it does not process further.

If I try to sign up for Quickbooks Accountant Account, it says I have already signed up.

Please help me with what should I do now.

Thanks!

Does it mean that I can access the ProAdvisor training and exam only if I have Quickbooks subscription? 

What happens in case I do not have a Quickbooks subscription yet but planning to go for one? Can I do ProAdvisor before?
