The Career Academy services for Bookkeeping Certificate Course graduates help students understand job requirements and how they are displayed in Job descriptions and job ads.
The goal for every job seeker applying for accounts department jobs is to align their resume and cover letter with the job description requirements.
The hiring process has become computerised as more employers use Application Tracking Systems to filter all the job applications to save them time and money getting to a shortlist of job applicants to be interviewed.
The Career Academy team have been helping MYOB & Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook) up-skill to find work since 1996. Here are some articles which relate to the Career Academy services.
This Xero course is the most popular with job seekers and business owners because it gives them the training they need to do almost anything using Xero. These are the course topics:

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
If you have any other questions you’ll find answers to most of them at our FAQ’s.
Here are just some of the most common questions and links to their answers.
Feel like you need a little something extra? Have you reviewed your life in 2024 and thought “I need to do more”?
I reviewed our membership programs and in particular the tutoring programs and we’ve tweaked them to help you perform better.
After you complete a course with us you are welcome to join one of our Career Academy programs to
get more experience,
get discovered for work online and
earn some extra money.
The training in our EzyLearn Tutor package teaches you how to speak with clients to find out what they need.
This is called qualifying and I’ve found it one of the best ways to help every person you speak with – even the ones you can’t help personally!
The Sales and Customer Service course is included in the EzyLearn Tutor program and it is one of the best tools to help you both win new clients AND build a referral network.

Have you ever been in that situation? There’s lots going on and you have a lot on your mind yet you just can’t think of something to say? It’s like that with content marketing too.
It can be challenging but if you are in sales and marketing you MUST find something to say.
I was reviewing some of the recent updates to our Mailchimp Course for Email Marketing and realised that most content marketing is based around what is happening at the business.
It might have something to do with suppliers or products and changes to features or it can simply be about a success story or what one of your clients did.
When the Mailchimp course is ready it will be available at a discounted price to our Bookkeeping Academy members and can form part of your CPD Points.
PS. A new member recently understood how affiliate marketing works and was able to earn someone money just by referring someone to our courses. We’d rather pay you for introducing a new client than give the money away to Google Ads to get new students!
When I see this comment I wonder if it’s not just based on the fear some students have about learning by themselves.
They’re worried about what happens if they get stuck on something, what happens if they don’t understand the instructions and wanting to know that someone will be available to help them.
I started teaching students how to use computer software on a one to one basis and thought to myself,
“these people are all spending a lot of money to go through the same basic steps”.
The problem with a lot of courses is that they just dump you with information and then get you to answer some questions in an assessment or test – not EzyLearn, we guide you through learning journeys.
We receive lots of bookkeeping course enquiries from students who are changing careers and want to find bookkeeping work.
If you are new to bookkeeping you may be familiar with MYOB because it has been around for decades. As soon as you start looking at job ads you’ll hear about Xero because a lot of businesses are migrating away from MYOB to Xero.
So a common question is should I learn MYOB and then Xero?
Are you tired of submitting your resume to job after job only to get the same automated response?
You know the response I mean:
Hi FIRSTNAME,
We really appreciate the time you’ve taken to apply for the role of Business Admin Manager, and we love that you’re interested in exploring the possibilities of a career with us.
The selection process for this role was highly competitive and at this stage, we will not be pursuing your application further.
We are growing at a super fast rate and would love for you to keep an eye out for other opportunities that pop up at our careers site.
We wish you all the best with any opportunities you are pursuing right now.
MYOB has struggled for a long time against Xero but now seems to be in a sweet spot for price vs features.
MYOB is used by more than 1,000,000 users in Australia so it is a very good skill to have if you are looking for bookkeeping jobs or business admin jobs.
When we started delivering MYOB courses in a classroom in Dee Why in the late 1990’s I realised early that learning bookkeeping skills is best to do one step at a time. When I say 1 step I mean in training sessions that last no more than about 2-3 hours.
That’s why we created Micro courses in MYOB.
Visit the MYOB Training Course information page and see each of these different skill levels. You’ll see that it is based on the case studies I’ve written recently about like Flockana Cafe and Trim and Styles Hairdressing Salon.
The Bookkeeping Academy course packages are now on sale for 60% less!
Ever since Xero started to take market share away from MYOB they caused an increased need for students to learn both of these software programs.
We often get asked “should I learn MYOB or Xero” to which we reply, “have you looked for bookkeeping and accounting jobs online at Seek?“.
With our current bookkeeping course promotion you can learn both programs at your own time and at your own pace for less than enrolling into each course separately.
I want to thank the following students for choosing EzyLearn and graduating from their Office Admin and Bookkeeping short courses.
At this point we don’t speak with some students again because they have the new skills they want and they use them to find work or do better in their jobs. That is a sad part of the training business for me.
Some students take advantage of our Career Academy services and stay around to get exposure to employers and other students.
Employers like small business owners are looking for staff online using Google. From office admin and business administration tasks to bookkeeping and customer service and sales, employers need staff to keep their businesses running.
The only way you are going to get discovered is if you have an online profile that CAN GET DISCOVERED and that is what membership to the Bookkeeping Academy does for you.
The biggest difference between applying for jobs and having employers contact you is that rather than go through the job application elimination process you’ll need to know what to say to employers when they call.
Questions to ask employers and clients
You can’t just say “I need more money, can I have the job”. You need to be able to identify:
what work they need you to do,
how they want you to work
the working hours and pay
One of the hardest things you’ll need to learn is how to say, “Sorry I don’t think I can help you!”
In bookkeeping work alone there are so many different types of work that you need to clarify what clients want.
The easiest way for you to get into bookkeeping if you are new to it is through data entry of invoices and purchase orders.
Are you earning $50 per hour at the moment? If you aren’t it can seem almost impossible to believe that you could, particularly when you look at your boss and imagine yourself asking them for a pay rise.
I searched online to see who earns $50 per hour and most of the search results in Seek and Indeed showed up saying you have to be a doctor, pharmacist or HR Manager but bookkeepers earning this much regularly.
I recently wrote about the Internship opportunities for selected business and office administration training courses – this work can all be done online, remotely working from home.
One of the best things about running an online training business is that we can deliver our courses to the thousands of students who live in remote parts of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland and the rest of Australia!
Read on to discover how you can up-skill and learn how to become a remote working virtual assistant performing business and office administration work from your own home
In the United States most colleges have a Career Academy attached to their education services with the goal to provide extra services that help their students.
The Career Academy Addons that are available after completing an Office Admin or Bookkeeping Course with EzyLearn can be viewed here and the most popular option is to extend course access and support.
Yes, it’s true! You can get Xero Certification for FREE directly from Xero. Xero offer two free Certifications:
Xero Certified Advisor, and
Xero Payroll Certification
We had a course inquiry from someone who had already done this certification and they raved about Xero and what it can do and how it works – BUT THEY HAD NEVER USED XERO!
For small businesses bookkeeping isn’t a full time job. It’s often something done by the owner themselves or their partner in life and these people are not usually that good at it – PLUS they’re family and that throws up all sorts of issues and resentments.
Wives, girlfriends, partners and friends are often chosen as the small business bookkeeper because they are either cheap or trustworthy but that isn’t always a good reason to “use” them.
Many bookkeeping jobs are part time, casual or contract jobs because they only require a few hours to a day a week to do and that is why so many students start a bookkeeping business. A big problem with this approach is lack of skills in marketing and sales but the Bookkeeping Academy can help.
