How it works

Up and running in three steps

Set up a group and let staff learn at their own pace.

  1. Set up a group

    Create a group, choose how far it goes, and give each person a seat.

  2. They learn, then do the work

    Staff read each chapter and complete its exercises in QuickBooks Online.

  3. You see the results

    Review progress, quiz scores and graded work for everyone.

Common questions

The things people ask first

Which course should my team take?

Start new hires and everyday bookkeepers on Lite. Use Standard for staff who should build companies of their own, through the case study and capstone. Every seat includes both, so you choose per group when you set it up, and you can change it later.

Do staff need QuickBooks?

Not for the Lite lessons. They practice in Craig’s Landscaping, Intuit’s free sample company. Standard has each person build companies of their own, so they need a QuickBooks Online account. A free Intuit Accountant Suite profile works, and so does a free 30-day QuickBooks Online Plus trial.

How do I see where my team stands?

The Group Dashboard shows each person’s chapter progress, quiz scores and graded work. Open anyone’s record to review what they submitted.

How does a 12-month seat work?

A seat’s 12 months start the day you assign it, not the day you buy it. Move a seat to someone else and they get the months left, not a fresh year.

Can I try the course first?

Yes. Chapter 4 is free to read with no sign-up, and setting up a group costs nothing until you buy seats.

Is this the same as QBCU certification?

No. QBCU is Certiport’s own credential, and staff take that exam separately through Certiport. Our book is in line with that exam, and our certificate confirms they finished the course, with a public link you can check.
