Will getting a certificate from here help me find a job? I really want to do something in accounting. It's perfect for me. It's really cheap and that is what makes me really skeptical. Please advice and Thanks.

I have used and taught QB for many years - knowing QB will help you get a job, however a certificate from this place

won't help anymore than learning it somewhere else or on your own. First, get a copy of the most up-to-date version and use the tutorial and online tools from Intuit. In terms of taking a course, it depends on where your accounting skills are at - do you know bookkeeping now?

Yes, I took a lot of accounting classes back home in India. I know how to write journal entries. I know what financial reports are. I know the accounting equation, the rules of debit and credit. I do not have any work experience though. I really want to do something in accounting. Enrolling in a Quickbooks class will help me find something? ann and aties, do you teach any classes online? I'll be more than happy to enroll.

I'd like to start with Accounts receivables and payables but do not know how that works in Quickbooks.

You can try taking accounting classes in community college. They teach Quickbooks and Peachtree as well.

I just found a bookkeeping series is being offered at our local community college. I'll go see an advisor and sign up ASAP! I am so excited. Thank you both.

Great idea, Raquel. and to answer gelato's earlier question, no I don't have an online class.

Good luck!
