Excellent course, whether it’s your first time being introduced to accounting and bookkeeping concepts, or as a primer for someone with a degree and experience but who’s been away from it for some time.

Gave a good picture of the basics of accounting. I never received the answers to incorrect problems after I submitted the completed final exam to AIPB.

For those with limited bookkeeping experience, it is helpful to use other reference material and resources in conjunction with the workbook in order to fully define bookkeeping terms. Otherwise this workbook is a good educational tool.

All the courses I took were very helpful and gave realistic scenarios to help me understand. I am able to refer back to those courses when and if needed. The cost of the courses are doable (not too expensive)and worth it. Thanks.
