Overview

Welcome to Complete Xero online accounting and bookkeeping course

I am Maria, creator, and teacher of the Xero Online Accounting and Bookkeeping course, as well as QuickBooks Online, and Sage.

Why study Xero?

Xero accounting and bookkeeping program knowledge is vital to becoming competitive professionals and securing more jobs. As accounting is shifting rapidly into the digital, including tax submissions directly to your tax office, Xero is one of the leading software to offer a reliable accounting package for all requirements.

Why study online?

Studying online at your own pace, whenever you are based, helps you to achieve your goals without extra stress or pressure. No matter if your goal is to find a new job as a bookkeeper, or start your own small (or big) bookkeeping business.

The course covers all essentials, based on my years of experience with Xero and in my view this is an ideal starting point for any bookkeeper at the beginning or advanced level to refresh the latest updates.

Xero Online Accounting and Bookkeeping has a similar structure across all countries, in my view, once you learn the basics, it is easy to navigate through any other version. I have reviewed the Australian Xero version, see my YouTube channel @LearnbookeepingUK for that video.

About the course:

Course based on the UK demo company. I advise my students to register for a trial version (see Section 1 - How to register for a trial free version of 30 days), and download the Case study with exercises (Section 1 Case study). Registering for the trial version helps to learn by doing exercises along the videos on your own as well.

Answer:

This was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
Teresa Havard asked:

Hi I have Xero for my husband small business and I would like to know more do I still need to register for Xero. Teresa

Answer:

Hello.This depends on how small the business is, how many sales or purchase invoices you have,complexity. If the business is new, maybe you could use free resources like pandle or quickfile online software. Xero is great, but if you want to keep the costs down, my honest advice is to have an alternative. For accountants, it does not matter what software you use, the most important is good record keeping and recording of all activities. If your business is in bookkeeping, definitely YES.

This was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
Wesley asked:

After completion of all the tasks and submited the profit and loss statement, how do I get sent details of the training firm?

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
