Thank you for returning to this thread, KarmasKittiesInc. I appreciate your interest in finding the most accessible path to certification. I'll share information about the free options available and help you get started with your training to obtain your certification.

The first step is to sign up for a QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA) account, which is available for free. This account serves as your gateway to the certification process. To create your free account, visit this link: QuickBooks Online Account sign up.

Once you have successfully registered for your QBOA account, follow the steps provided by my colleague above to access the free certification exam available from the ProAdvisor tab within QBOA.

For detailed information on becoming a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, including course enrollment, please check this article: Sign up for ProAdvisor and QuickBooks certification courses.

Additionally, you can refer to this article to get answers to commonly asked questions about QuickBooks Online training and certification: Frequently Asked Questions.

I hope this information helps clarify the path to obtaining your QuickBooks Online Certification, KarmasKittiesInc. Should you encounter any challenges during the sign-up process or have questions as you progress through the training, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to support you on your journey to certification.
