Easy to understand. Well explained. As for questions, other than multiple questions, I would like to see problems that are close to real life bookkeeping, even though that might be challenging. Many people who are taking this course are those who are struggling to get a real bookkeeping job. So, it would be nice if the materials provide more real life assignments.

The course is very understandable and the exercises as well, the complexity of the subject is so well explained that encouraged me to apply for the certification. The only thing I would add is an update on the actual systems as many people use more accounting software to follow up the accounting it would be important to have an update on that.

I was very pleased with the material. The repetition of the quizzes made for a very effective drilling process. The AJE were committed to memory much faster and applying what I have learned to my job has made my work much more precise.

I find the course material on subject very useful. Written in clear, simple and easy to read and understand English. With more than enough examples to practice, the course material seemed as though, tailored to meet my specific reading and understanding needs. What impressed me mo, is the advice given at the beginning of the course material. That is, to read, read and read over and over again, the concise narrative. Adhering to this advice to me is the key to mastering the subject. I am happy to have engaged myself in this course and hope to finish as soon as possible despite time constraints. It is a great course and worth the cost. I advise all who are still undecided to take this course to enhance their knowledge and feel confident in handling accounting problems.

I found it is very useful. If we get the information for prior period adjustment that would be more useful.

Each section gives a full range of examples and quizzes and is well set up with good explanations. For extra visual reference, I would like to suggest that it would be helpful to have the example of the typical Chart of Accounts, the Income Statement, the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Capital shown in section 1 with a brief explanation of them. Also, it would help to have figure 7-1 shown with a brief explanation in section 1.
