Quickbooks Online Certification

Hello there, @Virtual Accountant_1.

You don't need to take an exam to get certified again. Instead, you can transfer your QuickBooks ProAdvisor badge. 

Simply ensure that your new account gives you access to the ProAdvisor Training tab. Then, you'll need to contact us to request the transfer of your certification once you've set up your new QuickBooks Online for Accountant account.

To contact us, please utilize the Help icon within your QBO account and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Please check this article to see more details about QuickBooks Online Certification: Frequently Asked Questions about ProAdvisor Certification.

I've also got an article that contains information about developing and maintaining great relationships with clients: Firm of the Future.

Stay in touch if you need anything else, Virtual Accountant_1. Take care and have a good one.

The thing is, I am still employed in the Company and working as a Part Timer. I still need my QuickBooks ProAdvisor Badge in the company that I am working.

So if I transfer my ProAdvisor Badge to my new QuickBooks, do I still have my QuickBooks ProAdvisor Badge in my old QuickBooks?

Thank you for the answer!

Would this option be available for my quickbooks online payroll certificate as well?

Hi there, Lovev22.

Yes, it should be available since you own the certificate. You'll simply need to contact our QuickBooks Live Support Team for the process.

You'll need to get QuickBooks Online certified to take the Payroll Certification exam. To learn more about the process, please browse this page: The first-ever QuickBooks Payroll Certification!

Hi, 

Where do I find these certifications?

Hello there, @Will998.

If you have already taken the exam, you don't have to retake an exam to get the certification. You can instead transmit your QuickBooks ProAdvisor badge.

Make sure your new account allows you to access the ProAdvisor Training tab. Once you've set up your new QuickBooks Online for Accountant account, you'll need to contact us to request the transfer of your certification.

Please use the Help icon within your QBO account to contact us, and then follow the on-screen guidelines to fulfill the requirements.

If you are ready to take advantage of this Payroll Certification, here's how: 

1. If you don't already have a QuickBooks Online Accountant account, create one.
2. Obtain QuickBooks Online certification.
3. Click here if you are ready to take the Payroll Certification exam. Please note that this link is only available to QuickBooks Online certified ProAdvisor.
4. If you require additional study materials, complete the following payroll courses before beginning the certification prep modules:

• Fundamentals of Payroll Specialist
• QuickBooks Online Payroll training

Hello ChristineJoieR,

I took the QBO Payroll exam and passed five out of six sections.

When I logged in yesterday to complete the final section, it was no longer available.

It appears that I will have to start over. I thought I had a year to complete it.

Can anyone verify this? Knowing how much time I had to complete the certification would have been helpful.

When I asked about the time frame earlier this year, I was told I had a year to complete it.

If I had known it would expire in November, I may have been able to complete the last section.

I contacted the ProAdvisor help desk, but they weren't able to help me.

Also, I completed the feedback form and received a response directing me to QBO help.

I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Thank you

Hello, @AnneB8.

I'll share some information about QuickBooks Online certification.

Every year, we update the QuickBooks Online certification course. 

When we update the QuickBooks Online certification course, the new version completely replaces the previous one, unlike the QuickBooks Desktop certification course. When the new version is released, all the incomplete work you had done on the prior one will be gone.

We'll email you in advance if a new version is about to be released while you are still taking a certification exam.

You can check for the Frequently Asked Questions about ProAdvisor training and certification to learn more about it.

Know that you're always welcome to post a reply in this thread if you have any other questions about QuickBooks Online certification. I'll be here ready to assist you.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, Ethel.

It is actually the QuickBooks Payroll Certification that I was referring to.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. 

In the past, I have received notifications when taking the QBO Certification, but

I did not receive any notifications regarding the QB Payroll Certification.

Hi CharleneMae,

It appears that I will have to start over.

While my training history shows that I accessed the training materials, there is no record of my completed exams, and QBO support was unable to restore them.

Thank you so much for all your help.
