Nationally accredited courses and Registered Training Organisations
When EzyLearn first started delivering training courses, nationally accredited courses and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) didn’t exist but when our CEO explored the compliance requirements of storing student records, costs of maintaining an RTO and other red tape, Steve decided to focus on the core competencies of EzyLearn – to create great learning journeys using multiple training resources including videos, training workbooks, exercise files etc and partner with an RTO who delivers the Nationally Accredited Training Courses and Certificates.

What does “accreditation” mean?
Accreditation is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “officially recognising someone as having a particular status or being qualified to perform a particular activity”. When you are looking to find a suitable course in accounting software, or indeed most anything, it’s important to determine what steps a company must take to be “accredited”.
Many people are impressed with websites bearing the logos of industry associations who have “accredited” the courses on their website. It is important to check whether this accreditation means this industry association has actually viewed the course material and endorsed its quality, or whether this industry association is largely unfamiliar with the contents of the course, but is receiving a fee so that the training company may feature its logo on their website — along with any implied credibility and tacit endorsement of quality of content this might bring.
Bookkeeping and accounting industry association accreditation
In Australia there are a number of bookkeeping and accounting industry associations who can provide accreditation. Although these associations generally help their members with the various compliance requirements imposed by government departments, it is not mandatory to join them. The Tax Practitioners Board has published a list of approved industry associations, with varying individual benefits, which you can find out more about.
Become a Certified Bookkeeper
EzyLearn courses are endorsed by registered BAS agents and accountants: the “High Water Mark” for bookkeeping work
After being in the online training industry for 20 years, we have learned that when it comes to online training courses in accounting software, the accreditation carrying real value to our students comes from registered BAS agents and accountants themselves.
BAS agents and accountants are the highest qualified individuals operating in the accounting and bookkeeping space. If they believe the content of our courses is genuinely of high quality and relevant to the bookkeeping world, then this is the accreditation that should give our students peace of mind.

Accreditation programs from software companies
MYOB Certified Consultant & Education Partner
The most important accreditation prior to the above events was the accreditation and partner programs promoted by the main software vendors themselves and in bookkeeping terms the main goal for most bookkeepers was to become a Certified MYOB Consultant. These MYOB Certified Consultants were revered as the go-to people for helping people learn how to use software programs and when you read about our past you’ll be happy to learn that we had several MYOB Certified Consultants help deliver our training courses.
Luckily the establishment of the Registered BAS Agent program meant that BAS agents are now accountable to you and the ATO for the result of their actions so they tend to do a much better job — that is why they need to have Professional Indemnity Insurance. It’s for this reason that EzyLearn made an executive decision NOT to join any software vendors partner programs. We joined MYOB’s Education Program several years ago only to receive legal correspondence about the obligations contained in the Education Partner licence.
Xero Certified Advisor
Xero is a very progressing publicly listed company which enables bookkeepers and BAS Agents to get accredited in the use of their software services. The certification is free and they’ve gamified the learning experience to give advisers increased levels of badge depending on how far they progress. They also have bronze, silver, gold and platinum certification depending on how much you want to learn through them.
