EzyLearn is Endorsed by Members of the Bookkeeping Industry

EZYLEARN HAS BEEN AN accredited training provider of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers from 2012 until the end of February 2018. There are a number of nationally accredited training organisations and industry accredited training organisations.

Short courses (sometimes called night courses) are generally not nationally accredited, however these do give you fantastic “real-world” examples based on authentic case studies provided by registered BAS agents, bookkeepers and accountants. There is currently massive growth in Micro Courses and Micro Credentials and even though these are not aligned with Australia’s Nationally Accredited course framework they are now also delivered by universities and accounting bodies like CPA Australia.

Training course creators, like EzyLearn, can choose to be industry accredited if it is of merit to them, but the most important thing to consider as a student is to choose a course that’s written by industry practitioners with relevant and realistic “real world scenarios” included. It’s prudent to check ASIC registers to see how long your preferred training company has been operating too because that is a sign of the quality of the organisation.

Learn about bookkeeping industry accredited courses, accredited training courses for bookkeeping software and the accreditation process in general.

We are committed to providing our students with top quality training courses, using real-life scenarios, at an affordable price. Our Updates and Additions Policy ensures you receive access to ALL OF THE NEW content we create for the course in which you enrolled — and we create new training material every week!

Our focus is always on education and creating new content regularly so that all of our students receive access to new Xero course content at no extra cost during their course access period.”

— Steve Slisar, CEO EzyLearn

The videos [are best] because they are shown in a way that is easy to understand. I found the video training a very easy way to learn. The visual for me works best and well as hearing the explanation. Helen Nel – Newcastle NSW 2300

The best part are videos which are the right duration to keep me concentrated. I found training workbooks easy to follow as well. Marina Despot – St Johns Park NSW 2176

I really enjoyed completing the knowledge reviews. Charline Buckley – Heritage Park QLD 4118

I can do it on my own speed. Everything is explained in single steps and easy to follow. Carola Reich – South Bank VIC 3006

The videos and the step-by-step instructions and tips along the way were the best part. Also support was understanding of issues that parents or in general students have with personal life . It does not go always as planned. But the timeframe for the course was great. Sheni Lal-Karan – Joyner, QLD 4500

Xero Accounting Cashflow Reporting, Budgets & ROI

XERO COURSE 516 TAKES you several steps further on from our Xero (Course 514) GST, Reporting and BAS Course by extrapolating the sample company scenario for an extra quarter.

Because our courses replicate real-life scenarios, we show you how to import the bank transactions, as well as how our typical entrepreneur, Jerry, manages the many, varied transactions such as:

• taking out a commercial building loan
• buying a commercial property
• completing further training (in this instance a real estate agent course due to the fact that he’s changing business direction and running several enterprises at the same time).

In Xero Course 516 we explore the typical overspending that some new entrepreneurs experience, and understand how these transactions affect the cashflow of a business. You’ll learn about the financing, operational and investment aspects of a cashflow statement and about alternative strategies that a business can take regarding its spending and credit risk management.

You’ll understand other Credit Management reports, like Aged Receivables, and see the tools available to small businesses for reigning in their accounts receivable; getting money into their bank accounts quicker; and using their accounting software to help perform superior marketing and operational management by budgeting and understanding their Return On Investment (ROI).

We explore some business opportunities in this workbook pertaining to ways corporate employees can become small business owners and consultants in their local area with the use of cloud accounting software.
