I found this a little ha, I had trouble with the use of the word debit and credit. I was under the impression that should only apply to the journal entry and did get mixed up when it also used to the explain the transaction.

This is definitely a great refresher especially after several years of doing accounting. With everything electronic today sometimes we forget the basics. I take the quizzes several times throughout to ensure I know material

I thought the course materials were great. Examples & practice tests help my confidence going into the test at Prometric. However, the final exam in the workbook was nothing like the Prometric exam. I ran out of time and almost failed!

This course is really practical. I start the course with zero knowledge about accounting, and now I understand how we should records a company book. I feel so happy and excited to take the next course for my bookkeeper career

I am not yet certified, though I have been a bookkeeper for almost 3 years and all my education has been on-the-job. I purchased this course in hopes of learning how the fundamentals of bookkeeping work, because so many things go on behind the scenes when you use Quickbooks. There isn’t a lot of explanation of basic concepts (what do we mean by “ledger”?, why does a bank debit show as a credit in a journal entry”?, etc.), but I found answers to most of my basic questions elsewhere, and I found the repetitive nature of the workbooks kind of helpful. I think the bottom line is that just committing to the program forced me to scavenge information wherever I could get it, and I have become a much better bookkeeper since starting the AIPB program.
