Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need experience?

None. No finance background and no Xero knowledge needed.

Am I good enough with numbers?

The course starts at the beginning and builds in clear steps.

How long does it take?

Around one hundred and forty hours, over six months of access.

Are there exams?

None, ever. You move at whatever pace works.

Which software is covered?

Xero and Excel, with MYOB access on the side.

Can I study while working?

Yes. There are no class times and no fixed start dates.

Is this course accredited?

It is accredited by ICOES, the CPD Standards Office and the IAAP. That is industry backing, not a QQI award. It is not a national qualification. For accounts roles, the software and the method are what get looked at.
