When not to buy this course
If you already keep books and your real goal is mastering the software, go straight to the Xero or QuickBooks course. This course teaches the underlying process, not one specific tool.
Good to know
No. This course starts from the beginning and builds up through short, hands-on lessons. If you can use a spreadsheet, you have everything you need.
It covers the core skills bookkeeping work is built on. Most bookkeepers pair it with a software course, usually Xero or QuickBooks, depending on what their clients or employer use.
It teaches how payroll works: gross to net, payslips, pensions and records. For running payroll in a specific tool, the Certificate in Xero Payroll is the follow-on course.
Every OBA certificate can be verified online by an employer. The month of books you complete during the course shows you can do the work, not just describe it.
It is self-paced, so you set the pace. Short sessions a few times a week add up quickly, and you keep lifetime access either way.
