QBO Advance Certification Exam

Hi @Cathouse,

I can understand where you're coming from. 

The QBO Advanced Certification Exam requires you to pass all sections of the exam, and you have up to 3 attempts to pass the whole exam. At this time that you're currently locked out to take the exam, I suggest preparing for it until the 60 days are up. This is to ensure you pass every section of the exam. 

You can also visit this page if you have other questions about ProAdvisor Certification: Frequently Asked Questions about ProAdvisor Certification. This includes tips on how to about the Advanced Certification path.

Feel free to drop a reply below, in case you have other questions in mind. I'll be sure to get back to you. 

I am sorry to be rude but find the response laughable.  I almost know the material by heart.  I have prepared more the this certification more than I did writing & defending my thesis.   How about QBO takes the time to review the test for typos and ambiguous questions/answer?   At this point, I do not feel I should waste anymore of my time and effort.  

Is there anyway you can point me to the source for the PDF study guides for Advanced Cert prep 1 and 2 ?  I have passed the last three modules, after attending a webinar and receiving the provided supplemental guides.  Currently I cannot find any webinars that are live that are for any of the first 7 modules.   There are past webinars, which are great, but the training materials are not provided, only a screen recording of the webinar.  

Thanks very much !

Hi there, janeknows.

We no longer provide PDF copies of the study guides for QBO Advanced Certification. For now, all guides and training materials can be accessed through webinars and guide articles.

As always, don't hesitate to reach out to us again if you have other questions. 

Hi.  I'm in exactly the same boat you are.   I can miss only 1 question out of the 5 in the single section that I cannot seem to pass.   I was locked out for 60 days and then had to delay retaking this section because I became my mother's caregiver.  Now I have the upcoming deadline and am desperate to pass.

I  completely agree!  I am not so stupid that I don't understand the ins and out of QB.  The test isn't hard - it's poorly written and only loosely based off the provided "training", if you can call it that. It's more like "how to sell quickbooks" than how to use the program. The information is NOT PROVIDED IN THE TRAINING. How much more loudly do people need to scream this for QB to listen and provide accurate, helpful training and corresponding exams.  Clients don't even care about the certification!

i passed my 3 sections and my 3 attempts are gone after 60 days exam is open then i take my failed sections attempt or do my all 5 sections in which 3 is passed ??? kindly ans please 

Thanks

I won't waste my time on the Advanced Cert until QB makes their tests more straight forward.  Accounting is straight forward and usually there is right and wrong.  It is a logical field of study.  QB just makes it difficult on the most primary level, it seems on purpose because they want to seem exclusive.  I have lost all my QB Certification history - Poof - all gone.  My most recent QBO On Line Cert is from Oct 2022 (History doesn't appear on my ProAdvisor account any longer). Plus, it is just absurd that these certifications wouldn't last a full year.  And you are right about learning a sales pitch.  I want training on how to use the program not how to sell it. If I knew more about using it, I might WANT to sell it, but the support sucks and these training modules suck and the exams are poorly written.  You are just lucky if you pass them.
