Do I need one to one training to learn MYOB and Xero?

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.

Is Xero really promoting websites for $2,700

GoDaddy websites created for you - Xero Training Sydney

Xero has always used its partner network to reach it’s users. I remember one claim made by Xero that they are the accounting software of choice for property and real estate businesses but it was really their integration partner Re-Leased that did the heavy lifting.

I received an email from Xero promoting GoDaddy. It was a promotion where GoDaddy would create the website for you and optimise it for Search engines.

What surprised me the most is that GoDaddy will actually create the website for you – not just host it.

Has it all become too complicated?

Don't be sad - Microsoft Word & Data Entry Training Courses from $29 or $20 per week for beginners to advanced Certificate

I’ve tried and tested hundreds of software programs over the last 25 years and I’ve noticed something very interesting in the last 12 months – they’ve gotten so complicated!

Email marketing is commonplace these days and you know it’s a money spinner when Intuit buy Mailchimp.

Email Marketing is complicated

The cost of email marketing software has gone up and up and up and all the software vendors are increasing their prices at the moment. I thought Xero was pushing it with their yearly price increase but Aweber is similar to Mailchimp and they recently increased one of their monthly packages from $10pm to $55pm – that’s OVER 500% increase.

Is it worth it?

Working with our graduates we’ve discovered that organisations are still looking for staff who can work remotely.

A quick look on Indeed (which seems to have more remote working jobs advertised) shows a wide range of jobs from Sales and Customer Service administration to Bookkeeping and Business Administration.

Should you learn MYOB, Xero or QuickBooks First?

Xero Course, MYOB Course, QuicBooks Course - COMPLETE Suite Training & Support - Bookkeeping Academy

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?

What’s happening PEPPOL?

Am I speaking gibberish or just crazy?

No, I’m speaking the language of eInvoicing!

PEPPOL is a global way for accounting systems to avoid the entire email system as we know it and Xero are registering every business unless you opt out by 13th November – and it’s included in our Bookkeeping courses.

Learn about einvoicing using Xero

Is this a new closed network that eliminates any invoice and bill paying spam? Yes, pretty much.

I remember teaching people how to use email when it first arrived in our lives in the late 1990’s and it is now the most common way to “authenticate” yourself as a real person.

It is also one of the most common ways to be scammed, spammed and phished!

Xero COMPLETE Training Courses Online Suite - EzyLearn

I first wrote about PEPPOL when the Australian Government announced that they were adoption it – yes, it’s an Australian Government initiative, not a Xero Initiative.

PEPPOL is the mechanism whereby you can get your invoice directly into the software of your client and I think it’s great.

  1. Learn as much as you can about Xero in our Xero Complete training course which comes with lifetime course access and support.
  2. Or choose an individual short course with 12 months access and support with Xero Beginners Course BUNDLE or the Advanced Certificate in Xero.

Termination payments training course - Learn how to use MYOB and Xero for Payroll Administration jobs

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 and Stackable Micro Credential by EzyLearn
  • 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

I’ve never actually done it

Frequent updates and infrequent use of software like Excel can really leave you stumped - that's where Lifetime Membership for Excel Online Courses comes in real handy!

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!

Why is LIFETIME MYOB & Xero Course access better than 6 or 12 months?

Change in Career

It depends on how much you use the software. If you are changing careers and don’t use accounting software regularly, LIFETIME course access and support means you can access the course again and again when you need it.

Job Seeker

I’ve seen examples where a student learns how to use Xero and gets their certificate and then applies for some jobs but then life takes over and they stay in their current job.

In this scenario the student can regain access to their MYOB and Xero course at any time in the future and go through the training as a refresher.

Small Business Owner or Manager

Another great example is for small business owners or managers who want to start to do more of their own bookkeeping.

Enrol into the COMPLETE Xero Course, which includes beginners to advanced bookkeeping training, and start to perform the data entry tasks in the Daily Transactions course.

You can then come back to the course at any time in the future to learn how to master more complex tasks like BAS, Financial Reporting and Payroll.

What most students ask about MYOB courses

EzyLearn Online MYOB Training Courses logo - training & student support

This website page answers 99% of students questions about online MYOB courses and certification. It has evolved as we’ve added content and support services so it’s pretty thorough.

The answers to these questions have become a little more complex since MYOB created separate versions of their software:

  • MYOB AccountRight, and
  • MYOB Business (Lite and Pro)

The Bookkeeping Academy MYOB course combination includes training and support for both of these versions.

See the most common questions students ask us.

Are you worth more than a painter?

Are you worth more than a painter - Business Admin Courses with EzyLearn online MYOB and Xero Courses

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..

Learn MYOB one skill at a time

MYOB is now better value for money than Xero and online

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.

MYOB Business and AccountRight pricing plans - Learn MYOB online

MYOB costs less than Xero but now have similar features and that makes it an attractive choice of accounting software.

Xero on the other hand are constantly increasing their monthly subscriptions and that has caused a bit of an up cry for some users.
