The course was overall pretty good, informative, etc.

- I did have to google a lot of the material to further explain/find more examples

- MORE EXAMPLES are needed during the actual course, prior to the final assessments

- Too much time was spent on trying to make Bianca funny

I did learn a LOT, & I think this course will help me further advance my career.

This is a good course with a lot of info, but there are some issues that mean I don't feel comfortable giving it more than three stars. There are several activities with issues such as incorrect answers or incomplete information given to complete a task. I feel like there is a lot of wasted time with the narrator. I understand the idea was to make it fun, but it was mostly just annoying to have to click through all the videos that didn't provide any actual information. Organization could have been better. Some ideas aren't really talked about in depth until later, but you really need that earlier on. And, lastly, there's no practice test or anything at the end. The activities are helpful and I appreciated them, but in no way do I feel confident in spending $150 on the certification exam because I have no idea what to expect for it. There are a lot of formulas to learn and a lot of information that apparently even certified bookkeepers keep notes about (according to commentary in the videos), rather than memorizing. And since this is not an open note test and we obviously have no frame of reference that you'd get from actual work, how do you know what is important and what will only come up sometimes?

The description / details need to be more clear in the examples. The correct answers are marked as wrong and the then the same answer is reflected as correct answer. Even the completion certificate does not Print the Name of the Candidate.

As a clarification, the coursework does cover the basics of the material however, that isn't to say it does it well. Between extensive pedantic notes and dragging interviews, there is next to no practice or situational teaching at all. You are given the basics, barely, and that's it. This is a constant throughout the entire certification. Either the "teacher" passes you on to pointless interviews where half of them are intended to shill Intuit's software or you are subjected to more fluff and poor comedy than actual learning. In the end, I'm glad I took this course—but there is so much more that I will need to sharpen up on due to the absence of any meaningful practice. Drag and drops are not practice.

This course was good for providing an overall view of the bookkeeping process, but there were many frustrations and errors throughout. Checking the forums for answers, I've found that the same problems with incorrect answers and incomplete information have persisted for years without being fixed. While the course did give me some knowledge, it gave me more anxiety than it was worth. I'm surprised that a company as big as Intuit would release such shoddy educational resources. I'm a good student so I persisted in figuring things out on my own, which caused a 1-hour case study to turn into 3 or 4 hours of work (maybe more). I feel bad for anyone who may have invested in this program but was unable to put in the time to research their own information just to complete this course. Even the meager $24.50 I spent was not worth the cost. I would not recommend anyone taking this as their intro to bookkeeping as it would probably discourage them enough to turn them off to the career choice.

Have a nice day, my teacher. Thank you for this course. This is nice work, teacher! I have completed this course, which is like full gratification! Employers appreciate these kinds of classes and can appreciate what's needed. I have developed during my learning. There is an opportunity to feature this project in my portfolio and add details to illustrate my rational thinking and skills. My recently completed course would look great on my profile. I appreciate you, and I am very grateful for the knowledge that you give to people.

Very Useful Course It will give a full picture of how you can understand the financial statement with the Analysis Ratios and other tools with a simple explanation from the expert, I really liked the final step of all the case studies in all modules from Intuit Academy because it was a practical reality with a solving thinking, and we expect to see more advance courses from Intiute. Thanks for all teamwork

Honestly amazing course, I genuinely thought the host with the different scenarios was a great addition as it was not boring and engages the reader and the ungraded plug-ins are extremely motivated to actually study. All this seems extremely well thought out and amazing effort put into it. Plus the topics in the course were extremely helpful and useful. Thank you so much!

I recommend this course to anyone interested in Bookkeeping basic knowledge or a senior accountant who would like to refresh his/her knowledge, especially if you were working outside USA. This course will enhance your accounting vocabulary in USA English as well as knowledge in a very amazing way. Thanks to those who make this possible. Remain blessed!!

It's been 30 + years since I went to College for Accounting, at first it was very overwhelming as I haven't used accounting for anything. As the course went on things came back. I'm visual so this course was great. Looking forward to learning more.
