 Testimonials: The ExpertRating Online QuickBooks Course (2006) has received overwhelming positive feedback and reviews from students around the world. Here are a few:

"I was very nervous to be taking this course, I am a 38 year old homemaker and mother of 6 from ages 15 down to 2, with no college background. I also home school one of my children. My husband just recently started an electrical business and I am doing all the bookkeeping. I took this course in order to have an understanding of QuickBooks to do an efficient job. I don't have a lot of extra time, but I found this course helped me to learn the program without overloading me with a lot of unnecessary work. I feel I have a much better understanding of the program and I enjoyed the course. Thank you.""I was extremely happy with this course. I read the users guide that came with QuickBooks for Contractors to try and teach myself but found it very difficult to understand. I then tried the QuickBooks for Contractors for Dummies which was better, but still I was frustrated. When I saw this program online, I figured I might as well give it one more try. I am very happy that I did. This 6 week course is written in such a manner that it helped me to understand the concepts so much better. I did not feel frustrated at all and the added assignments helped. Another reason I like this course was because the day before the course was to start, I unexpectently had to go out of town for a 2 week training program and did not have access to QuickBooks. This course gave me the opportunity to catch up when I got back. If I had taken QuickBooks elsewhere, I would not have been able to complete the course and probably would have lost my money. Thank you for thinking about the unexpected or busy times in our lives."
"Thanks for the help. The course was understandable even for us non-accountants."
"Really enjoyed the course. I looked forward to it every week and sharing with my employer the tips I learned. Thanks."
"This course was fantastic. I took this course because I had recently started a new job and the office manager was switching over to QuickBooks to incorporate the job-costing feature into his everyday accounting. I feel that I now have an extremely good grasp on what we need to include on our future jobs to get the most out of the job-costing feature. The course was well written and the lesson were easy to understand and follow. I would recommend this course to anyone who was going to be using QuickBooks for Contractors."
