Testimonials

"It offered me the accounting theory that I needed, with the option to add ‘Accounting Technician’ status to my name, along with applying all my theoretical knowledge into practice through the use of accounting software such as Xero. It was also a lot more value for money than other courses/had researched." - Sabrina

“This program is highly recommended for working/busy mums (from my pov) that cannot attend courses in person. I have work experience in payroll, but no qualification. This is a fantastic option to gain some qualifications. Easy navigation around the site. There is help readily available for any questions you may have. Thoroughly enjoying my course two weeks in.." - Maria H.
