Excellent introduction. Would appreciate more detail on how to create the financial statements but that may be in the next level of the course.

Very easy to understand Bianca and all the other Instructors. Though Kristie needs a bit of a louder microphone but she is very knowledgeable.

Books and additional research were needed to make me feel more comfortable with a couple of the concepts. Overall, this is a great course.

Easier to understand then pther bookkeeping courses I've tried. If it had a little more hands on assignments i think it would be perfect.

Great overview of bookkeepers role and daily activities. Good for beginners. Needs more hand-on training for unadjusted trial balance.

It would be more useful and practical to have more hands on test with the general ledger. I should not have passed that final quiz.

I would have liked to have more practice in posting debits and credits. Not on the prefilled demo, but more like the final exam.

I would recommend using the Intuit Online-" bookkeeping study guides," to help better prepare if you are seeking a certification.

I really liked the course until the final case study. It was very confusing and there was no way to get any help from anyone
