After taking this course, I can see where & how I can apply my skills and love for numbers. I am confident in my decision and cant wait to put all the pieces together.
Thank you, Coursera & Intuit!

This course is so GOOD! I needed to brush up on my Bookkeeping Skills, and I am glad that I chose Coursera to help me do this. I love the Step by Step Lessons and the videos are AWESOME! Thank you!

Great so far! Information could have been presented in a better way but still great overall.

Good course, but I wish it included more general accounting software, too.

More hands on activities would be helpful.

The information given starts out seeming much too basic to be useful, but it gets more in-depth as you progress through the modules. The use of the flash animation of "Bianca" as your instructor is, frankly, stupid and insulting. Her dialogue and intentionally annoying accent is extremely detrimental to the course. It's difficult to take it seriously because of this, and I almost cancelled on several occasions in the early modules. The quality of the information began to improve by mid module 2, so I stuck it out and finished. The practical application of the ledgers and balance sheet for the final test was a step in the right direction but could have been much more comprehensive.

I feel like there needs to be more details taught, more time spent on general journal, general ledger, income statements, trial balances etc. I finished this course with a huge struggle at the end. I had to watch a ton of youtube videos trying to do the worksheets because the course didn't spend enough time explaining it. Leave out the online tutorial of quickbooks until we understand how to manually write the info and are able to follow along with quickbooks. I didn't know what they were talking about because I was still struggling with doing it on paper.

This course was okay. I didn't really enjoy the commentary of Bianca and Lou, it was kind of hokey and the voice wasn't that 'professional' to listen to while completing this course. I prefered reading it. This course went over a lot of basics, but as a bookkeeper and professional in this field, I think there need to be more of a core understanding of the bookeeping process before jumping into general ledgers. There are a lot of things not covered here, but maybe they'll be covered in the next few courses.

I enjoyed the course. I would've like to do more practice on the different sheets. Would like to have worked on the module 4 workbook throughout the module. Also more guides or videos to break down sheets and the workbook.

not being able to take an exam that's offered for free at the end of the course is a bit disappointing. Should be known at the start that if not a US resident you cannot enrol.

The content id good and the interactivity feels nice but I was hoping something more serious/professional with less jokes. Nevertheless, thank you for the course

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.

Too childish- especially with the animation and script. I am interested to learn, not go through a Cartoon show. Beside that,it was good.

I felt like I learned the basics of bookkeeping. However, I was not huge fan of the videos or the way the activities were formatted.

Was not very detailed. Had to do a lot of self study. Was good for basic guidelines and a brief overview. Character is annoying.

nice refresher. Wish there way more lessons we could practice with. Like a workbook for the students just on transactions etc.

Thank you

This is supposed to prepare you for the Intuit QuickBooks Certified User Online Certification but I fail to see how. The Exam Objectives are all about how to use QuickBooks, but this course had limited learnings on actually using QuickBooks. Most of the learnings was around basic accounting principles and it had you managing the Books by hand in Excel (why???). Course is a nice entry-level to accounting/bookkeeping, but useless in preparing for the exam it claims.

Profoundly boring. It felt like it was built for children. The constant repetion of easy to understand concepts and then breezing passed harder to understand practical excercises was infuriating. There was no book work until the last part of the course then it wasnt even in a Quickbooks format which is what your learning about the whole time. the cheesy voices and animation were a total out off untill your realised how much more boring the real life speakers were.

I finished all 4 courses (Intutit bookkeeping certificate).
This first course is the only decent one. I'm rather shocked by how badly put together this certificate is. So many errors. I would not recommend this course to someone looking to learn bookkeeping. Save your time and money and search for better options. Newbies need practice. LOTS of practice. That's how people learn. Extremely disappointed.
