Cool course!

Guys, who can't answer question #3 in the last test check this: Trial Balance is a representative of each nominal ledger account and will hold either Debit or Credit Balance, not both.

The material doesn't lend itself to a captivating tale but it is presented very well and the fact that it can be done at one's own rate is wonderful for those of us who have limited time.

Too many inaccuracies, inconsistencies and ambiguities. Examples from "experts" sometimes contain incorrect advice and information.

Example - in one of the assessment exams, where typed answers were required, the number formats required were $x,xxx.xx. EXCEPT for the last question, where it was changed to $x,xxx, and which I didn't notice.

My answer $3,800.00 - marked as incorrect, because it should have been $3,800

Why on earth should the format of the number be relevant?

I would have struggled a lot if I had not already had a basic understanding of what was being taught. More actual practice where I had to think about it rather than just click and be shown would have been helpful. I did a lot of searching online for more videos and tutorials to help explain what I was learning. I liked the case study at the end and maybe having more of that type of thing throughout would solidify the concepts better.

It's quite informative and educational, but the examples are lacking and confusing sometimes. They show you how to do things in Quickbooks software, which is great, but then make you take test in Excel, which if you are not already familiar with using it for accounting then it can get confusing. Some of the plugins are glitchy and hared to navigate at times, which led me to not reviewing or seeing some of the sessions or examples.

There's a lot of random content and ads that is distracting. Bianca's exposition, the story about the cleaning divas, ads for quickbooks. The material could be far better organized. Needs pause and subtitles capability in the exercises. The exercises were helpful, especially the last project, but I had to do a lot of research on my own to make sense of it, and there's no way to get an explanation of what I got wrong.

It would be good if more explanations about the concepts and their applications were prepared. And in the application to the QuickBook, the screen resolution is low, so the screen doesn't look clean and the explanation seems too fast. And the subtitles were not accurate, so it was difficult to understand.

The videos are nice and engaging, and the quizzes make sense. But the final case study was an absolute nightmare. It was only showing partial dual-accounting method, making things not tie up properly based on the previously taught lesson method. The numbers did not match, no matter what I tried.

There was a lot of information but none of it really prepared me for the test. All of the demos were with QuickBooks Online, but the final test was just in spreadsheets. There was a lot of guessing on my part. I have almost no confidence that I'll be able to do bookkeeping at the end of this.

I don't feel like the final assessment matched the focus of these lessons. It taught the basic concepts, but the practice DID NOT prepare me for the quiz. I have to attempt it several times and find answers in studying for the quiz about how to calculate things from other accounting pages.

The QB illustrations are very poor in image. It's so blurry and difficult to follow. Then the last test is given in excel sheets. Why not QB test. I couldn't follow the tet instructions and failed. I even paid for 2 months that I didn't use out of discouragement.

Overall the concepts are explained well but there are technical errors present especially in visualizations. This is true for all 4 courses in the specialization. This course and the Liabilities and Equity in Accounting have more errors than the other two.

I really enjoyed the course. I do wish there were more opportunities for more practice manually putting in data instead of a point and click option. I learn from actually doing the work not just reading and watching others show me now it's done.

The quizzes and activities during the online lectures are too leading. Then when you're faced with the end-of-course case study, you're a little lost.

Good information but insufficient practice time. I don't feel that I'll be ready to actually do the work even after passing the certification test.

Does not efficiently prepare beginners for the test. Needs to include more practice content, to be completed by the trainee, with not as much help.

The details of how most aspects of this particular course could have been explained far better. Assets in Accounting was a bit confusing.

The quiz grading is terrible and needs work. Format has to be too specific. Right answers marked wrong all over the place.

It was a good course, but some sections needed more examples.
