Hear what our successful students have to say about the Sage 50 Course
This course was perfect for me. I work for a fairly new company and the database had been set up by an external accountant. It was set up very basic and being a new user and having no previous A/P, A/R experience, I was shown just the basics of entering in purchased items etc., and creating payroll cheques. Now, after completing this training things make more sense and I feel confident in my abilities to expand on what had been previously done and perform reconciliations and balances. I did the last month balances myself and impressed the accountant and my boss. Yeah me!!! You made me look good. Looking forward to the next level.
I have found this training extraordinary. I am enjoying it a lot, as well as working very hard to take in the information. It is quite comprehensive and has reminded me of some accounting terms that I have not used for a long time, and it flows naturally through the different modules. The Sage 50 software is just amazing, makes the work easier and has so few steps to follow once the settings are arranged according with the needs of your company. I am going to start a new job next week and will be using this software.
I used to use MYOB for my own business books, but when I took over my husband’s books, our accountant uses Sage 50 Accounting so I switched. I knew I wasn’t doing everything correctly and I found out that was true by taking this course! I’m so glad I took it as taking this course was far more effective and I learned about things I never would have known about. Bottom line, I really enjoyed the course and the exercises were very good in learning the content covered in the videos. I repeated the exercises to set up my husband’s new company and after one month, everything is perfect! Thank you.
I thought you might like to know that this course prepared me very well for an interview I had this week. I registered with a recruiting agency and they congratulated me on how well I had done on the bookkeeping test they administer. I was very pleased, as I have no formal bookkeeping experience. I have to give credit to this course for helping me do well on the test.
I liked the combination of learning methods; reading material (text book), watching the video tutorials, and hands on learning by doing the exercises in the Sage 50 Accounting Program. I’m interested in the more Bookkeeping Courses you offer, when they become available, please let me know.
