I found all subject matters to be clear and easy to follow. If you struggle with the first section of a chapter, the quiz section will surely clear up any questions you may have. I felt very confident with each subject at it’s conclusion.

A few years back I used the workbook to prepare for a amil in test. If you are considering that to be taking a course …. I felt it was effective. If there is an actual online or live course, I can’t say.

Was easy to understand and covered the material could have used a few more examples/questions to assist someone who perhaps does not have an accounting background.
