This is EXACTLY the information that I've been looking for! Every time that I google how to become a bookkeeper, 99% of what I find is garbage/scammy. Thank you SO MUCH for explaining this so clearly.

Hector, I actually took and received my certificate for Coursera. I then scheduled and took the Intuit Professional test. The two options were desktop and QBO. I took the online test (mistake), but all my experience was on desktop platforms. The test was almost exclusively about setups, roles, etc. There were almost no actual bookkeeping questions. Needless to say, I was like a deer in the headlights. I ended up with a 670 (fail) out of the 700 required to pass. I was actually pleased that for a platform I had NO previous knowledge of, I scored just under a passing grade. I had paid for a retest and got the new voucher number for the retest. I will be retaking the QBO, but not until I have watched every one of your videos! Thank you for putting them on here!

Thank you Mr. Garcia for breaking this down and explaining it so clearly. I was considering a $500+ course at my local community college but this Coursera/Intuit track actually sounds better and cheaper! I'm subscribing to your channel. Let's hear it for Youtube and the fantastic resources available here.

I've started yesterday with the «Intuit Certified Bookkeeping Professional! I'm taking the course with Coursera Canada. This is the course than Mr Garcia was talking about. We can translate the text in french. However I'm answering the questions in english. This is simple and easy! The course is very well done. I'm on the 1st Lesson which has 4 parts, and I'm almost half way of the 2nd part of it. It is a very good course! Thank you again Mr Garcia!

I signed three weeks ago on Coursera. So excited 😆 and so exhausted. Taking Business Administration hybrid classes as well. Looking forward to finish by the end of the year and hopefully I can start working as a bookkeeper next year 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Hector God blessed you!!
We can do all we want if we put some effort and let God do the rest😀

Intuit has the Basic Bookkeeping and I got certified within the trial period of one week! it had journal entries and basic stuff. It was fun! I didnt take the professional bc I dont want to pay $149.

Hector, this is amazing information. Thank you SO MUCH for everything you do. As a beginner you have helped me understand a lot more than college has taught.

[MariaRodriguez-xojh]

Mr. Garcia, You are the best!!! I am in the transition from a teacher assistant to a bookkeeper. I get an accounting background from my country..This is a real motivation to come back

[dezareesieben]

Seriously thank you for this. I have been so frustrated with all the ad-like information around this certification.

[pursuitofnatural]

Thanks, Hector! I've been weighing my options and was unaware Intuit had a course and certificate. I'm already a QBO ProAdvisor so this makes the decision easy for me.

[latatha]

Right on time!! I just started the course in Coursera. Thank you for the information.
