I was speaking with an intelligent lady in her early 50’s and she was telling me about the number of job applications she had done but got no interviews!

This lady has plenty of experience and training but was still struggling to get employers to notice her.

Is this happening to you?

As a business owner this happens EVERY DAY! and you learn to keep digging and applying and calling and emailing. You also need to evolve and tweak and improve on every little aspect where you feel you could have done better.

Courses help to fill any knowledge gaps you have and the more job applications you do the more you’ll see what employers are looking for.

The key is to keep your chin up, take a break if you need to and start searching again.

If you need to learn Office Admin, Business Admin or Bookkeeping skills EzyLearn has a number of options:

• Micro courses – software and topic specific
• Complete courses – beginners to advanced skills in a software program
• Combination courses – Complete courses for several different software programs combined

The most common question we get asked about our MYOB courses is which version should I learn?

Is MYOB AccountRight more popular than MYOB Business PRO or Lite?

This question is hard to answer because it depends on where you are located and what job ads are going up on Seek and Indeed. When you look for accounting and office admin jobs you’ll be in a better position to answer this yourself.

BUT, to make life easier we offer a MYOB Course Combination which includes both courses AND at a discounted price.

To make this question a little more confusing MYOB changed the name of their MYOB Essentials to MYOB Business and created two versions: Lite and Pro!

Running a business is hard.

It’s hard because you have to know most aspects about your business and financial management is a critical one – after all the reason for starting a business is to earn money!

One of the hardest parts I’ve found for bookkeepers and accountants is sales.

People are interesting aren’t they?

I recall when we opened our first Sydney training centre how I took people through a needs analysis to determine what they knew and didn’t know. I could quickly see the difference between what people say and what they do.

We were doing most of the training for clients of Commonwealth Rehab Services when the Internet was in it’s infancy and lots of people were learning about how to send an email!

The LIFETIME course access and support option is now available for MYOB and Xero COMPLETE courses as well as QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Office Courses in Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

You can also pay for these COMPLETE courses on our $20 per week payment plan!

Today. There is no need to wait for a course start date any more and you can learn at your own pace.

We process enrolments every day of the week, even weekends.

Whether you enrol into a

1. short micro course,
2. Complete course (Beginners to Advanced Certificate) or
3. Academy Combination course you can start it today.

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..
