Some language is not clear and some details regarding debits and credits were not covered thoroughly enough for me, a beginner. Otherwise it's a good coure presented in a very user friendly way!

The course was set up very well but, I would have just preferred to have some sort of workbook that allowed us practice with every aspect of documentation. Repetition makes me better.Thank you.

Very basic but well done course for an introduction to bookkeeping concepts. It is not a hands-on how-to course but does provide a basic overview of the bookkeeper position and some terminology.
