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.

I have learned a great deal of basic bookkeeping in this course but have limited knowledge on how to actually perform all of the duties. This first course set a solid foundation to build upon.
