The contents are great. Only one confusing part (as I’ve been doing bookkeeping a bit), CPA&Auditors use the expression “deferred revenue” instead of “Revenue collected in Advance” or “Unearned revenue” in real practice. It would be nice to add “deferred revenue” expression in your course. Or, my understanding wrong ?

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
