This Coursera course has prepared me to take the exam I'm sure I can pass it thanks to the assistance of this Bootcamp. Going back and looking at how much time and effort I put into making sure I get out of the field I am in and into the career i've always wanted to be in.

The very best thing about this course is that the student is taught the basics of double entry accounting, even though QuickBooks software simplifies the process of creating a journal. Learning it the old fashioned way will make the student even stronger as a bookkeeper.

This course is very informative and provides a great foundation for bookkeeping. However, I would advise a review session before moving onto the case study at the end of the course just to refresh some of the information provided at the beginning. Great course overall.

I got exactly what I wanted from the course. I finally broke through the mind fog of debits and credits, and learned why things worked. I thought I really had a handle on the course until the final assignment. It really forced me to see if I knew as much as I thought.

This is a bit too basic I believe. I understand that this is online and so on but it seems as soon as the class was about to get good, that was it.

I liked the interactive videos with questions for me to work on, I thought the discussion questions were unnecessary.

Easy to follow with clear explanations. I felt like I had too much information thrown at me in college, scattered everywhere that it was difficult to pull it all together at work. I am grateful to get back to basics and create a solid foundation to become a CPA.

This course covers the basics of accounting from as basic as debit credit entries to the complex general ledger entries, creating and reading different financial statements , In short it prepares the ground to easily understand the complex world of Accounting.

This course seems basic but it really helps a lot to widens your scope of learning to the maximum edge of accounting knowledge. The part(s) accounting of principles, bookkeeper's ethical position and workbook assignment project at the end ere really helpful.

I'm enjoying every minute I spend learning. The test was a tad daunting, but I kept up with it, on paper as long as it took to understand elements I had learned along the way. One thing I did drive home to myself, there are no shortcuts in Bookkeeping! :)

The course is well explained, exercises are easy to follow, but you must be careful when you write the numbers. I would like to thank for the opportunity for taking the course. I will continue my learning and all four courses.

Sincerely,

Most of this was review from University days. However, it did clear up some stuff i remember confusing me before. Great refresher and format for helping solidify your knowledge if you have already taken some Accounting classes in University.

So far this is one of the best courses I have taken on Coursera. The content is engaging and it sticks. I even surprised myself by how well I did on the quizzes. Definitely give the voice actress more gigs, Bianca is an excellent teacher :)

Real Nuts and bolts plus learning the actual principles and assumptions that few courses teach. The use of Bianca and her Bookkeeper Re$cue service as a vehicle of a mentor makes the whole learning process friendlier and less threatening.

This course was so necessary for me. The visuals and tutorials were great. This really clarified all the principles and calculations I've done in my college courses and brought them into real life scenarios. It was really fun! Thanks.

A few weeks ago, I had a very loose understanding of the lessons taught in the bookkeeping basics course. I feel very prepared to continue into the bookkeeping academy course. The presentation of material was nothing short of excellent!

I do learn in this course and gain a lot of knowledge in bookkeeping in a Layman's term that's why I did not have a hard time completing every practical exam at the end of the week's course. Thank you for doing such a thing like this.

I needed to refresh my memory of the accounting basics. The course was fun and and well organized.

I liked it that there were videos or the professionals giving the advice as well as the interactive story about Loo and his business.

The course gave an adequate overview of the subject matter and provided relevant examples. I would recommend the student also review the introductory chapters of an accounting book to ground key concepts and do more examples.

I think this was a great beginner's course to breakdown some initial bookkeeping concepts. I was able to use some of the knowledge I learned already on the job and excited to dive into the next set of certification modules.
