Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Take The Books On Yourself

Paying someone else to do it adds up fast. Learn the file and keep control of your own numbers.

Add Payroll To Your Name

Pay runs, leave and payslips are the part small businesses dread. Handle those and you are worth hiring.

Get Certified By Xero

The Official Xero Advisor Certification comes after the package. Xero issues it, not the college.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Small businesses, bookkeeping practices and finance teams all run on this software. The work means invoices out, bills paid, staff paid right, and reports that hold up.

Bookkeeper

Keep the books for one business or several. Reconciliation is the daily rhythm.

Accounts Support Officer

Handle invoices, bills and account queries. Xero depth makes the work quick.

Payroll Support Officer

Run pay cycles and leave requests. Accuracy and timing are everything.

Advanced Xero Advisor

Support clients on assets, budgets and reporting. The certification backs you up.

Xero Training Coordinator

Show a team how to use the file well. Teaching the basics clearly matters.

Client Systems Advisor

Set up and tidy client files. Templates and tracking categories come in here.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need experience to start?

None. You do not need Xero experience, an accounting background or fixed study time. The package starts at the beginning.

How long does it take?

About 40 hours of work, with six months of access. Many people finish inside a couple of months.

How does the Xero certification work?

You finish the three certificates first, which opens the assessment. Questions cover what you learned across all three, and Xero issues the certification.

Does it cover payroll in full?

Payroll has its own certificate. Setting up, pay items, leave, pay runs, payslips and payment summaries are all included.

Can I use this for my own business?

Plenty of people do. Once the file is set up right, invoicing, reconciliation and reporting stop being a monthly headache.

Is this package accredited?

It carries industry accreditation with ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, and earns 40 CPD hours. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. The Xero Advisor Certification that comes with it is issued by Xero and recognised wherever Xero is used.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. A 10 day money back guarantee applies from enrolment.
