The average time to complete a the MYOB courses is 2-3 weeks and some people take several months or simply use the course as a resource during their membership period. Visit the MYOB Training Courses Summary page for the duration of each individual training course.

2 Can I go over the training materials more than once?

Yes. The course videos can be watched over and over again as often as you want. The workbooks are available as a downloaded pdf file so you can print it and go over it as often as you want. The more you access and use the materials the faster you will complete the course. If you want to have ongoing course access and support after your initial 12 months explore our Career Academy Service and Support Packages. The Career Academy Course Refresher is the cheapest way to get ongoing access and support and is popular with bookkeepers and small businesses.

3 Are their any prerequisites

It is expected that you have a PC with Internet access and that you are confident using a mouse, downloading, launching programs and navigating around your computer (Windows OR Mac). Although you’ll get through the course faster if you have an understanding of basic accounting /  bookkeeping terminology the course includes training videos to teach you these things.

6 Do I get a certificate?

Every MYOB training course comes with a Certificate of Completion after you successfully completed the online assessment questions and course evaluation. If you are a member of our Learning Library (and don’t have access to assessments you need to enrol into a premium MYOB course). You’ll receive a Certificate in MYOB for all beginner level courses and an Advanced Certificate in MYOB for any of the Advanced MYOB Micro Courses or COMPLETE Packages (include Beginners to Advanced level training).

See how we structure our courses to learn more about the difference between Micro Courses, BUNDLES, COMPLETE and Combination training course packages.

7 How does assessment work?

The assessment questions are located at the end of each section or at the end of each course and comprise a series of questions which may include YES/NO, multiple choice, multiple answer or matching questions. When you submit your answers (you get 3 attempts) your answers are recorded in your student profile. When you have completed them you let us know and an assessor will confirm that you passed each test and provide you with a certificate. All knowledge reviews must be completed within 12 months of enrolling. If you did not enrol for the certificate option but would like to take advantage of it you can complete all knowledge reviews and pay for your certificate at the time of your MYOB course completion.

Back to MYOB Training Courses Summary

8 How do I get my certificate?

Your certificate is sent to you as a full colour PDF attachment via the student support area.

Back to MYOB Training Courses Summary

9 What type of certificate do I receive?

The default certificate is an EzyLearn certificate of completion that confirms you have accessed the course and successfully completed the knowledge reviews. It contains a logo of our Bookkeeping Academy so you can put it in your resume to display the fact that you are a committed learner and part of an organisation devoted to continuing education. When you complete beginner level skills you’ll receive a Beginners Certificate and an Advanced Certificate for Advanced software skills.

10 Can I get a nationally recognised certificate?

The EzyLearn training material provides training on many aspects that are relevant to bookkeeping and Ezylearn is aligning its training materials with nationally recognised qualifications. The certificate you receive is an EzyLearn Certificate of Completion.

To get a nationally recognised certificate you need to enrol into a bookkeeping course with a registered training organisation (RTO) – EzyLearn is not an RTO. We partner with an RTO for the Certificate IV in Bookkeeping and Accounting so if that is important for you click here and make contact.

Back to MYOB Training Courses Summary

19 Which version of the software do you use?

MYOB AccountRight Plus

myob_AccountRight_online_training_course_logoMYOB made a significant change in their software in 2011 because it is built on a totally different programming language. As a result the software works differently and looks differently so separate courses are available for these new versions. When navigation changes significantly we create new content and make it (along with the existing content) available to students.

Our MYOB courses have been recently updated and many components of the course are created based on the 2019 version.

The MYOB training courses like all of our courses are regularly being updated when there is a significant change in the content or navigation around the software and as a student you receive access to this new content during your course access period.

Have an older version of the MYOB software? We keep the older versions of our courses as archived courses so students can refer to those MYOB courses if they need to. These earlier MYOB AccountRight training courses use training materials from version 15 to 19 as well as the current versions which are built on the new Microsoft .NET programming language. We use several different versions of MYOB Accounting and AccountRight Plus in versions 15 to 19 because navigation is virtually identical and mainly the graphics have changed.

Learn more about our MYOB Training Course Updates and Additions Policy.

The MYOB training courses use the MYOB AccountRight Plus (previously called MYOB Accounting Plus) because it includes all aspects of what you can do with the software, including Inventory and Payroll.

MYOB Essentials

myob-essentials online training course live logoOur MYOB Essentials Training Courses are updated regularly as this software is undergoing rapid change. MYOB Essentials competes against Xero and Intuit QuickBooks Online in the cloud accounting software category because you can log into via an Internet Browser program as opposed to downloading and installing the software. Learn more about our MYOB Essentials courses.

20 What if I have a Mac?

We use the Windows version but had many students who have used the Mac equivalent which is MYOB AccountEdge Basic and AccountEdge Pro – THIS ENDED in 2020. Read our blog post about the shock announcement from MYOB because of changes to the Apple IOS operating system.

Learn Xero Accounting, MYOB AccountRight, MYOB Essentials online training course package - Bookkeeping Academy $20 per weekMac users have no other option than to

  • find a Windows computer to learn AccountRight or

Some of our very earliest versions of our video tutorials use Flash which may not be viewable on iPad devices, but all new content is created in a format that is viewable on all platforms.

Back to MYOB Training Courses Summary

22 Can I buy the MYOB software from you?

No – we no longer sell it. Although we can supply the software to you we are in the training and workplace services industry and would not be competitive in pricing with the large retail discounters like Harvey Norman, Dick Smith Electronics or online comparison sites like Get Price and MyShopping.

25 Do you have courses for other accounting software?

Yes, we do. Our accounting course case studies take students logically through the entire bookkeeping process for a small business and because we create them we can adapt them to suit other accounting software programs, which we’ve done for MYOB’s other small business accounting software, MYOB Essentials.

Xero Course, MYOB Course, QuicBooks Course - COMPLETE Suite Training & Support - Bookkeeping AcademyThere are an increasing number of cloud based accounting software programs and many of them are competing head-to-head with MYOB and doing very well.

Xero Accounting is a very popular cloud based accounting software program and boasts Craig Winkler as one of it’s major shareholders. Craig is the man that started MYOB in Australia and built it into an international company before selling out to a private equity company (Archer Capital, which them sold it to another private equity company Bain Capital) and this company had the luxury of starting off as an online, cloud-based accounting software.

26 Can you help me start a business?

Yes. In 2012 we became the online training platform for the Small Business Management Course from the Australian Small Business Centre Pty Ltd. This course goes through all the areas required to create a business plan which becomes a blue print of how to run a business – any business. We then had our own team go through this course and complete it based on the following business types: Virtual Assistant and Bookkeeping Business.

When you do the Small Business Management Course with us you get the opportunity to work with people who are doing what you want to do and they’ll support you to  help you succeed in that business.
