Do you have a couple friends or work mates who also need to learn how to use Microsoft Office or MYOB and Xero?

Learning with other students is a good way to keep motivated and increase the speed of learning.

Our online Microsoft Office Courses provide you with a step-by-step learning journey with lots of practical tasks.

Our learning management system enables you to log in and access the course materials from anywhere and learn at your own pace.

Group discounts are available for as little as 3 students for the following online courses:

• Microsoft Excel Courses
• Xero Courses
• MYOB Courses

You can learn how to use Xero and MYOB by yourself and in your own time.

Learning bookkeeping in general is something you can do by yourself. We had a student recently who learnt most aspects of how to use Xero by just watching the instructional videos and then answering the knowledge review tests.

All I could think about what the financial formulas in our Excel Courses!

He is learning about Pythagorean theory and all I could think about is how to reduce my mortgage!

I’ve spoke to hundreds of people about real estate, land and building new homes in the last few months and the cost of living is such a major issue in most of our lives.

This might seem like an odd question and I don’t mean to cause any issues with painters. I was looking for a painter recently and was surprised at how much they charge. The most interesting comment was “I’m very good and I will do the work for $400 cash a day”.

Do the maths and that equates to $50 per hour for an 8 hour day. Are you worth that much?

I understand that it doesn’t just come down to an hourly rate but it still begs the question..

When you’re a business owner you see all sorts of things that employees don’t normally see. I get to see every online course enquiry for all our courses and its interesting to see what students want to learn but Eric Jones takes the cake.

Eric and his friends enter their details into our enquiry form at least once a day. He wants to learn everything and in ever format possible but want he really wants is tell his own story..

The Bookkeeping Academy is a membership program designed to help our graduates get more training and exposure to find work. We have a lot of Bookkeeping course students who want to learn how to use MYOB and Xero but many of our students are looking for office admin and business admin jobs.

One of the biggest differences between Office Admin and Business Admin jobs relates to business finances and strategy.

Business Admin jobs pay more because you perform tasks that relate directly to the profitability of the business. These tasks relate to both the initial strategy and the financial reporting so they consider all aspects of the business.

Our Career Academy include the following services:

1. Course Refresher – Cheap ongoing course access and support
2. Bookkeeping Academy membership – online exposure via National Bookkeeping directory
3. Job Getter – actively help you find a job that suits your skills and experience
4. Online Affiliate – work with you to earn an online income
5. EzyLearn Tutor – help students work through our training programs
6. Remote Contractor – find office admin and business admin work

When you look at these services do you think we should rename our academy from Bookkeeping to Office Academy?

I don’t think I’ve spent much time mentioning how many sample files you get when you enrol into Excel Complete online course.

There are over 100 Excel course practise files and they cover all sorts of different topics including:

• databases,
• calculations and formulas, and
• graphs and charts.

Most of these files come from the work that I have been involved with over several different businesses.

These Excel course practise files are all unlocked and open so you are also free to use them for your own personal use or business use. Some of the personal uses include calculating your mortgage repayments and figuring out how to reduce your mortgage faster.

There are also practise files to help with forecasting, managing a large contact database and visually showing what the numbers mean using useful charts.

Here is some other information you might not be aware of about our online Microsoft Excel courses:

• We offer group discount pricing for as little as 3 students
• You can purchase the Excel course workbooks and exercise files separately to save money
• We offer a free sample for Excel Beginners
• You can partner with us to sell online courses

MYOB Business is the online version of MYOB that now has a full feature set that is desired by small business owners.

MYOB Business now the features that make MYOB better value for money than Xero and at half the price and better payroll features for 2-3 employees it’s the go to accounting software for micro businesses.

We’ve noticed an increase in MYOB Business Course enrolments since their last major upgrade and it might have something to do with their partnership with Bunnings.

Upskill in the newest MYOB online accounting software with our individual MYOB Business short courses.

• MYOB Business Courses for Beginners
• Advanced Certificate Courses in MYOB Business

MYOB is far better value for micro businesses with 2 or so employees. When you go past the current marketing discounts and look at the regular monthly rate MYOB is far better value for money at $31 per month vs Xero who charges $70 per month.

Micro businesses are massive employers even though they only have a small number of employees yet they have some of the hardest work to do.

These small business employees have to do all the same administration tasks that larger companies (with more staff) do while also stretching themselves to keep their customers happy.

Xero’s pricing has been criticised recently because they’ve continuously increasing prices almost every year despite the hardships that small businesses are going through.

If you are making the switch back to MYOB from Xero or starting a micro business from scratch you can learn everything you need to know with the MYOB Business COMPLETE Course package, including:

• Daily tasks like quotes, invoices and payments
• Weekly tasks like credit management (A/R and A/P)
• Payroll Administration tasks
• End of Month tasks like bank reconciliation and financial reporting, and
• Quarterly tasks like lodging your Business Activity statements.
