Dominique Elliot –
I am enjoying the course, the course content is bringing back lots of memories from my high school Accounting course, so quite familiar and not too scary!
Jodi Czepanski –
I loved being able to do things in my own time. Not having time constraints took the pressure off and funnily enough meant I did things quicker than I probably would if I had been working to absolute deadlines. Nothing
Lisa Bragg –
The never ending support via any means possible, wouldnt change a thing an amazing dedicated team who are focused on HELPING people achieve their dreams
Sherridan Jerret –
That I could pay weekly, and in manageable amounts. This puts education within reach of all of us, especially those on minimal wages. Sub titles to videos, and enough time to read them.I have Audio Processing Disorder and have done most of my tertiary education by correspondence (Diplomas at Open Poly). I paid for the written notes, only to find errors and that they were out of date, and of course they still related to those damm videos!!
Veronica Robinson –
Just having the opportunity to learn the skills involved in bookkeeping. Plus the flexibility of learning online has been great. Although I didn’t participate vocally myself on the discussion boards I have used these and the facebook page.
I found the tutors very helpful and encouraging.
I would have liked there to be more practice exercises, particularly in the earlier topics. I found the MYOB and Xero pretty self explanatory and would be able to follow these, however would have liked more with the earlier topics so as I retain the knowledge for longer than just the assessment, plus I learn by doing not by just reading.
Arthur Moreton –
The well structured course content. Subjects were separated into small chapters, which helped me to plan my study. The videos helped to summarize chapters and provided a little extra clarification on some points which was very helpful after reading a lot of text.
Amber Wilkes –
The quality of the physical notes, it looked very poorly thought out and didn’t fit the binder it was sent in – that felt cheap and disappointing especially considering the purchase price.There could also be more thought put into the generic follow up emails. But both of these are feedbacks I’ve already given, and I’ve appreciated the ability to study around my children so overall it’s been an ok experience
Amber Marie Wilkes –
Overall I am pretty happy, most issues were minor niggles, the tutors were encouraging and helpful and the content was well laid out (online – not in the paper copy which was a very poor product).
For the experience I guess I’d give a 4 out of 5, there is definitely always room for improvement in any business anyway, and I’m sure there must be ongoing product improvement and website development happening normally. It was definitely reasonable for the price of the course.
Tania Wilson –
I could work through the material at my own pace, and study when it worked best for me, as well as in a way the best suited me to make what I was learning stick
Gillian Auckram –
The fact that you could work at your own pace and were able to revisit things if necessary, It was difficult to actually get to speak with somebody when I called and also using the online help…………..you had to wait too long to get a reply. With learning students are cramming their learning into spaces of time and much of the time that time is on the weekend. If you cannot get a hold of anybody or if you have to wait a day or two for answers then it can be extremely frustrating when you could have completed a paper and have to wait.
Teresa Snell –
The ability to work at my own pace and fit the course around my work and family
Margreat Colledge –
Having a well structured course with clear goals yet being able to study online whenever it suits! Overall I am really happy with the course and learnt alot. So the items below are minor!
1) The ‘Adjusting Entries’ module in the course was the hardest for me. IMO there could have been more worked examples with detailed explanations.
2) When you access tutor help via the orange button in the bottom RHS, the area where you type your question is really small. If it was bigger it would be easier to type a detailed question.
3) The ‘CITG125 – Bookkeeping using Microsoft Excel’ module required the use of Microsoft Excel 2016. I completed the assessment using Excel 2010 (after contacting the totors) and found very little difference except for some of the chart functionality. Some students may not want to/be able to afford the expense of upgrading to Excel 2016. I was reluctant to use Microsoft’s free trial because I didn’t want to give my credit card details to Microsoft! Excel 2010 is supported by Microsoft until 2020 so students could be given the option of using an earlier version.
4) When you get the certificate at the end of the course you just ‘pass’. There could be some recognition for passing a number of modules with distinction.
5) Career and jobseeking support at the end of the course could be increased. Only being able to access the Career Centre for one month doesn’t seem long enough.
Mildred Mutengezanwa –
1. Easy to understand course content. 2. Quick Response when you use the help button. When I failed the first attempt, there are topics where I would have expected more clarification and guidance on where I went wrong than to just be told to read my notes and try again
Hattie (Haizhi) Zu –
It will be great to see you bring more options to help adults who need to start a new career or to change current career. It will be helpful for you to provide courses to achieve all sorts of certificates in Information Technology at a reasonable price.
Annie Sofie Blomgren –
Great course, really liked the content and the way it was managed.
Kate Harris –
I loved being able to be a Mum, work and study. The allocated time was perfect
Anna Brooks –
The fact that it’s online and I could complete it at convenient times. There were quite a few mistakes that I picked up on in the course material. Because of this, I’m not confident that everything has been accurately covered by the course.
Nancy Shallcrass –
Content was great, tutors were great, i give it a rating of 5 stars
Margaux Wong –
How responsive the tutors were and how helpful the team was
Tracy Armstrong –
Hi, I feel the couse was wonderful even though I did take a bit longer due to some personal issues. However I felt maybe if I had one or 2 due dates to work towards on one or two assignments I might have been a bit more motivated, not sure but working towards a deadline sometime can be motivating. Thank you for the wonderful course, I did really enjoy it and oved the layout of work and the assistance and all aspects of the content and support. Alot of was new and interesting and informative, also the information helps me in my current role and also gives me a confidence to grow and apply for better roles/ improve my career. Online course study is good as you able to work and earn. I looked for something that would fit in with my lifestyle as present and not be too demanding and take up all family life. I liked the courses to choose from and that your courses are recognied can you be certified. The career centre side is a big draw too. Thank you to all the lecturer’s for support it was great.
Bronwen Reid –
I felt some of the questions on the assessments were ambiguous and could be read incorrectly- for example Preparing Journal entries- perhaps the questions/scenarios could be made a bit clearer. Company signed me up for the course so I can better understand the bookkeeping and countancy requirements and to upskill
Breea Butler –
Great
Toni Bell –
The support and encouragement from every single tutor was amazing, the site is easy to use and understand, assignments were always marked quickly. There is nothing i would change, it has been the best experience and because of that I have gained confidence inmy day to day work in office administration, thank you so much to ‘everyone’ at Career Academy
Michael Del Rosario Avila –
The Bookkeeping Course i took surpassed my expectations. The subjects are relevant and easy to understand. Plus the guidance you get from their expert Tutors wgich helps a lot in passing the Assessments. I would highly recommend Career Academy not only for those who wants to shift into a new career path, as well as to those who wants to upgrade and update their skills. More power to Career Academy.
Elizabeth Teresa Beaven –
Being able to study in my own time and pace.
Melanie Roskam –
I wish I had started early and that is the hardest with online learning. But the upside of online learning means you can start and stop at any time and can fit in around working full time and life and that super convenient. Not really, the only think I would change for myself would be starting as soon as I had signed up. But initially was overwhelmed by what I had untaken that it paralyzed me from starting altogether
Palkin Sharma –
Tutors in Career Academy are awesome. They are so helpful and very quick in answering the queries. Course material is very good and easily understandable. Overall my experience was fantastic with Career Academy. I would definitely recommend Career Academy to everyone.
Zoe Shepherd –
Just being able to go at my own pace. And the modules were less time intensive than it anticipated – An option to turn off notifications on past modules so my inbox wouldn’t get so full
Charlotte Cameron –
Getting the certificate:-) – Changes to make: Be NzQA accredited
Danny Bruce –
The best part of studying on line was that I could work through the course at my own pace anywhere I wanted – One assignment that I had to redo, I found it a bit difficult to fix and resubmit. I think the instructions need to be a bit clearer on how to make the changes and resend.
Anna Fahey –
The ability to work at my own pace and that I was offered a free 3 week extension at the end of my course to complete the last 2 modules. There is a lot of errors in the course content (course material, quizzes, assessments) and within the Master Bookkeepers Guide. I had to email a few times about errors that I had picked up and as a student this should not be my responsibility.
David Lemon –
The support from tutors was excellent, the marking was done in a timely manner and the tutor feedback was both helpful and always positive and encouraging.
Ngahuia McCaw –
Not having to go into a class and I could work at my own pace . The help available. I found that there wasn’t alot of help or support when I needed it. The student forum barely got any help from that, most of the time no one answered your questions
Kate Doyle –
Easy to follow courses – well structured with a to do list approach.
Toni Rainey –
The tutors were super friendly and encouraging. This was appreciated rather than being grilled for what you did wrong, it was clear, friendly guidance on where to look for the information. Good work tutors! It would be great to have access to online help after hours or on weekends. As someone who was studying part time I was working/looking after my children during normal work hours and would complete assignments after hours and weekends.
Wendy Skinner –
The academic quality of the course. It was more than what I expected, it was great. At times; Tough for a mature student like me, who works a 40 hour week & has to go home, to do the night sift – The time frame of the course
especially for the mature students like myself, who has not studied in many years & has a very busy & demanding job with a busy home life.
I my case I am over 50 and have not studied since 2004 when I did a Bookkeeping certificate in South Africa.
(I must say, that this course is 10 times better than what i did there)
It too would be helpful to allow for more than 1 extension
Like in my case, due to unforeseen circumstances. I was not able to get started ASAP on my course
Work was super busy when I signed up in Oct 2016, then I turned 50 in the Nov & then Dec holidays
Just when I thought I could get started in the new year Jan 2017, a friend passed away and 4 days after that an unexpected death of a work colleague. That was when I asked and paid for the extension, as I could not see myself completing the course in April 2017
Once the grief passed then I got into course material and was getting ready to do the 1st assignment in April 2017, but that was when we got the shocking news that my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma cancer. He had surgery on 27 April 2017 and they wanted to do more there after.
With this all going on; I could not focus on studies.
I filed studies in the pending file and until when life started to move forward after the shock of the C word.
In Oct 2017, I requested another extension, BUT to no avail.
I was even asked by the person who I was in correspondence with, “What had I been doing for the last 6 months prior to the extension anyway & up until the cancer shock?”
I had no energy in me to fight or explain myself to her or The Careers Academy.
Thus I saw this as a challenge and in a sense it was a blessing, it helped me to stay focus on life and know that we can make it & fight for it no matter what negative things come our way.
If there is a Will there is a Way, stay Strong & Believe in yourself, was my motto.
So that negative comment about the extension, gave me the driving force get this course done. I turned the bad into good. I completed the course on time.
Yet there might be those students those circumstances are worse than mine, and they require more than 1 extension, so on behalf of them, Please consider more extensions. Thank you!!!!
Overall I really enjoyed the course, it was tough at times, but I ran the race & completed it.
Thank you!!! Daniel Hunt and those involved
Carrie Robinson –
Tutor Support
Birgit Kirstin Cameron –
That I could study in my own time. It was a great compact course which covered everything I needed for my new job. Thank you. I thought some of the questions in the quizzes sometimes confusing. The wording and structure of the sentences.
Aisling Power –
As I work full time I was able to complete my course over a 6 month period – it was up to me how much work got done each month. Feedback was very efficient and the tutors gave alot of advice of where I could improve my first attempt ( if there were issues). Only a small thing – but downloading xero system and then having them constantly contacting me about when i will be purchasing their system.
Amanda Seaton –
With being a stay at home mum it is easy to just do a little bit of study when you have time and don’t have to drive to a place to do the course – Sometimes when a different tutor would mark the papers it would get a bit confusing if one did the first one and say almost there then would submit then another tutor would mark second one and point out something else instead of putting a cross beside it on first try so can try and get right on 2nd try
Kathy Mua –
the great feedback from the tutors when grading my assessments, defintely encouraged me to carry on and finish the course I would make use of the tutors (apart from grading my assessments). When I struggled with a topic, I went back over notes, the e-book or did further research. I would like to see grading percentages for each topic, as everywhere I’ve looked – there is nil
Hayley Walker –
The online tutorials were good. The Master Bookkeepers Guide was dry, too wordy and overly complicated.
The flexibility to extend the course was useful for me because of my family commitment and health problems the course took a lot longer than I expected. Printing your own certificate leaves you feeling flat. I think Career Academy are being a bit cheap making us do this. Receiving a certificate on good quality card in the mail would leave you feeling more satisfied and with a greater sense of achievement.
It would be useful if the the fundamentals of bookkeeping were revised through exercises and assessments further into the course. This would help to cement the fundamentals that form a more solid foundation of bookkeeping
Karin Harrison –
I felt that the course content was very well explained , easy to follow and well laid out. I thought it was great that I could study in my own time at my own pace. I enjoyed the course and the content but do have a few constructive criticisms – There were a few things that I felt let the course down, things that in this day and age shouldn’t be happening such as errors in the course content both from a literature point of view (spelling mistakes, grammar errors and repeated blocks of text) and also from a content point of view (such as missing or incorrect examples, errors in content). The course cost a lot of money and I would have expected a more professional (in the above context) outcome. I was also very disappointed that I had purchased the printed version of the course only to find that not much matched and while the note on the front said there may be some difference in content – I felt this was an understatement. While you could always leave a message for the tutors access to help more quickly would be beneficial.
Debbie Williams –
Study at your own pace, I loved that because I could fit it in around other commitments.
Rachel Durbin –
As a mum of four young boys, I enjoyed being able to study in my own time. My spare time is limited but I enjoyed learning at my own pace when I was able to grab some peace and quiet here at home. Good to get my brain in gear again. 🙂
Caroline Wallace –
The convenience to do it in my own time at my own pace.
Anita Hopkins –
Being able to renew and touch up on my existing and past skills within the course in my own time was excellent given my other commitments.
Michelle Domingo-Trias –
To have this opportunity to be able to study online is amazing. I have been working full time and I thought that I wouldn’t be able to study unless I work part time. But studying with The Career Academy made it possible. This is actually my 3rd course and I’m still eager to learn more! Thank you so much to all the tutors who are very positive and encouraging.
Laura Hope –
The friendly tutors who show a lot of support in your studies
Rebecca Nilsen –
Being able to work at my own pace
Sharon Ellis –
You can do it at your own pace, without getting stressed out
Toni-Marie Bartlett –
The best part of studying online was you can complete it at your own pace and having the help available if you needed it.
Marie Baten –
The ability to start and stop at any point, the general progression through the course, the videos were helpful too – Instead of a pass, it would be nice to have a grading score to see how well you actually did.
Janet Parker –
I enjoyed being able to study at my own pace. The tutors were always encouraging and provided excellent feedback. I have learnt new skills – especially in Excel! (I have always been terrified of using Excel and now I feel much more confident in its use). Thank you so much. It would have been nicer to have one allocated tutor rather than several. I think just having one tutor would make it feel more personal and save a lot of time in repeating the question if you needed additional support.
Shannon Kellett –
There were several errors regarding the working of the assessment tasks which made some of them a bit confusing. Some of the readings from the text, while not exactly contradictory, were not quite in line with the course content for particular chapters. To further my understanding of my current job. The response to queries was almost always timely.
Jacqui Settle –
Flexibility to work at my own pace Clearer agreement on what constitutes a pass – I needed to resubmit one assessment where the pass mark was over 80% and I achieved an 80% pass – this was confusing
Bryan Moyes –
The Interface for accessing the course. The keep scrolling down to find the next item is cheap and nasty. The interface needs to be full width without all the unneccessary stuff to the sides.
Assesment questions were not good particularly the forcasting question. I have experience in accounting and banking I do not think this course prepares a student for a bookeeping career in that I dont think there are enough realistic examples Why is there not a place in the course to tell me my start date and finish date? If I want to know I dont want to send off an email I want to know there and then
Brownwyn Ziolo –
Recommended by the NZ Bookkeepers Association Really great feedback from tutors – with useful direction if you had made an error
Denise NUnes Monteir –
I chose the career academy because I thought the cost was good and is online. Just the web site should come back where we finished it.
Tracey O’connor –
I felt that there was sometimes not the clearest instruction on the assignments, especially quickbooks and xero but this may have been just because i was unfamiliar with them and it was completely new to me. Overall the course content was good I was looking for something that would allow me to refresh after some years out of the office environment. This course allowed me to do that in my own time and with a realistic time frame to do it in. I am overall happy with the course. I did think that at the end, on completion, a certificate would be issued by post (maybe laminated for effect), a little disappointed that i just press print and my certificate is there! I do feel that when you are paying a lot of money for courses, generally people expect a more formal recognition of the achievement rather than a home print out….just my opinion!
Amanda Ledgerwood –
I did a google search and the info found looked like you guys had a good and recognised course. Some of the course material needs to be printer friendly if we wish to print at home. Example the Excel material was not, and when I emailed to ask for a word doc of the course material I was advised this wasnt possible. A shame as it would be good to be able to look back at the notes in the future.
Also I found the feedback on assignments were always helpful. Example when completing my FBT assignment, the tutor was not helpful when asking questions about where I went wrong on my first attempt, and named the people I needed to look at. He wouldnt explain where my calculations were going wrong. I spent hours re reading and realised he must be wrong on a couple of things. I changed a few things a resubmitted to be told by another tutor that I was right. It would be good if the tutors can give constructive help, and not told that they can't help me anymore than they have.
Also I would have liked to have done MYOB but the programme you have is not compatible with Apple. I have asked around, but was not able to find a windows computer to use. Is it not possible to have an apple mac compatible programme?
Overall a good course.
Wendy Brotherson –
I found it to be time consuming navigating to each chapter of the course. I would recommend having each section on tabs for easier navigation. I wanted to study and gain a qualification from a reputable organisation.
Katherine Pawson –
I choose to study with The Career Academy as it suited me to be able to work at my own pace and at times that suited me
Jaimee Graham –
So that I could complete the course in a time that suited me from home
Veronika Heuston –
My background is in tax accounting and I feel that only the surface was touched within this very complex field of accounting. Especially GST was by far too easy and there would be no way I could do a GST return with only that knowledge. I feel that one would need some form of practical experience to be able to work confidently within this area. Personally I enjoyed the course as it was a refresher course but if I was new within this field, by no way would I be able to start my own bookkeeping business which was the reason I signed up. the certificate is recognised in NZ and in Australia and my aim is to open my own bookkeeping business. The tutors are very professional, helpful, speedy. Thank you!
Avril Ambrose –
first pop up on google search for book keeping in nz Better communication _ when i signed up on the course i was given an extra 3 months to sign up then and there in december instead of February, i did not realize this was my one and only free extension , that is certainly not how it was sold to me, i thought i still had the extension available
, however i was then charged for an extension at end of course when i needed it.
The original sale girl should have been clear, i would have still signed up but i would have done it in feb when i was ready to study.
was very disappointed to have to pay extras , im in no position for this
Melanie Thompson –
I was overall happy with the course. After 10 years in Administration its nice to know i was on the right track and now i have extra knowledge to apply to my company. Thank you to all the tutors that helped me with my assignments, much appreciated.
Charlotte Smith –
I chose the to study with the career academy because I am an overseas student so the ease of your programmes suited me. Improvement: the navigation is annoying when you are in a module you have to go back to the main screen and scroll all the way down – if there was a way of navigating from the side bar into particular sections that would be much better. thanks for making this study pain free
Rosina O’Brien –
Would come back
Kristine Victorio –
It was the cheapest at the time I inquired about similar courses. The assessments are simple yet very challenging. The tutors are very responsive especially when giving feedbacks. The course is worth the money spent. I wish that there is someone to follow-up on how the students are doing. I enrolled for this course a year ago, then got pregnant and haven't had the time to do the course. I'm very grateful that I was given extension to finish the course. In the span of 1 year, no one even asked why I haven't submitted any assessments or how am I doing, even just an email. This is one aspect that you need to work on. Overall, it's a great course. Thank you.
Frances Pease –
The career academy enabled me to study at my own pace.They offered a payment plan that makes it manageable to achieve the goals that you want.
Alison Perfect –
a friend had suggested I do the course through Career Academy
Lynn Davies –
I was very pleased with this course.
Julie Richards –
It was connected with the Bookkeepers Associate, the testimonials from previous students suggested it was a great course that was accommodating to peoples busy lives. Perhaps an email if an assessment has been updated – the problem I had when completing the MYOB assessment was I was working from one version of the assessment but the marking was for a more current version that had a different transaction amount – this resulted in my answer for one part of the assessment being incorrect. Tutors were great, provided excellent feedback.
Helen Jackson –
It appeared on LinkedIn – before that I didnt even know you could do a Bookkeepers Certificate Marking time was very quick which was much appreciated.
Therese Logie –
Company chose it for me The Website. If you are working half way through your course, you have to scroll back and forth to find your place. If you press the back tab – you get back to the top and have to scoll again.
Kaleigh Woods –
You were professional in your approach and the people I spoke to were understanding. At times, some of the tutors tended to respond in their highly-skilled understanding of the topic and not really in laymans terms – which is what we as students are in this capacity.
Fiona Jordan –
I could study around work and family commitments. When finishing a topic. It would help if they collapse each topic as finished, so that when you go back in you dont have to scroll all the way down to each topic.
Anita Furter –
I was impressed with what I read about the course on the internet. Navigation on website not very user friendly.
Sue Engels –
I gained bookkeeping qualifications during my uni studies in the 1980s but I decided to renew my knowledge for the subject on the whole & get to grips with the software available with the help of a formulated course.
TCA offered a convenient way for me to up-skill in between my own schedule, running a small artisan business.
I have never practiced my accounting qualifications as such, other than of course, running my own business all my working adult life. As a self employed artisan l look forward to some slightly less manual work in years to come and wish to practice as a part time bookkeeper in addition to my art. I have enjoyed the course, experienced very positive feedback from all the tutors and learned a great deal, thank you.
Lorraine Geary –
Convenience of online & subject matter relevant at the time I didnt really encounter anything I found not at a good level . I did not require to phone for assistance , however feedback was ALWAYS provided in a VERY prompt , positive , proactive and supportive manner COurse was enjoyed thank you . My own personal circumstances have changed so may not be using the knowledge as expected , however just managed to finish within the allotted time frame !! Thank you for prompt marking !!
Mary Meaney Brooks –
I chose to study with the career academy It seemed to be the best course at the time. Too much to read and it should be broken down the assestments was not clear to understand what had to be done.
Nick Giles –
I chose the career academy because – NZ recognised course with nzbai etc, was recommended to me through work, was specialised to what I needed and was easy to understand Some parts of the course could be improved i.e. Payroll, maybe give an option as you do for the myob/xero unit. Myob payroll was painful to use compared to other types of payroll software I have used.
Liz Mccracken –
Some of the h course questions were a little vague, especially the earlier topics
Jackie Cooke –
I have already studied courses in Xero and enjoyed them so came back to Career Academy for the Bookkeeping Course.
Beverley Wallcroft –
I enjoyed that it was available online and to some extent could set my own pace. The navigation of the home page could be improved. Grammatical and spelling mistakes were irritating and compromised the integrity of the course. I am known by my middle name and when I enrolled I was told that I had to enroll under my full name and was assured that I would be addressed by my preferred (known) name. Not so, every assignment came back addressed to my first name, not my preferred name. Small matter but think you should be aware. My last assignment which also congratulated me on completing the course came back addressed to someone else entirely. Hope my certificate doesn;t have someone elses name on it. Anyway love that this text box has spell check. Thanks for the course

TCA was recommended to me and by having the ability to payoff the course on a payment plan.
Diana Couchman –
I wanted to have some sort of professional qualification to put by my name, the course content was just what I was looking for. I have learnt a huge amount and have enjoyed the challenge of furthering my knowledge. I sent emails with queries about assessments and only once received a reply. I found many spelling errors throughout the course. Given what you represent (education) this is not good.
Sophie Smithies –
It was the best way I could find where I could study bookkeeping I think for some of the assessments i had to go back to the tutor a lot as they were very unclear what was actually wanted… But other than that it has been great.
Amy Barrow –
I am currently assisting my boss who is a bookkeeper
James John Lamberton –
Special thanks to the tutors who were very patient with helping understand module requirements. I am sure they would not be bothered as much if some time was taken to clarify instructions. Clearer instructions on what is required from each module. I felt at times I was taking a course in comprehension instead of understanding what was expected at some points. I suggest you get someone with no understanding of bookkeeping to read through the modules and clarify where necessary.

I chose to study with the career academy because it is approved by the book keepers association.

Abi Stafford –
This is perhaps a personal viewpoint and perhaps a reflection of my own insecurity but I am unsure as to wether I feel qualified enough to confiently put my name on the bookkeepers register and be of a quantifiable standard for other people to rely on. This course has been excellent for me to push boundaries I didn't really know existed so perhaps I should just take a teaspoon of what the course has shown me and crash on!!

Some of the course notes could be clearer. Particularly FBT – Motor vehicle. I found some notes to be contradictory with regards to the example given in the introductory stage and the FBT guide on the number of days to use in the quarter. If you would like more clarification, please feel free to ring me

I chose to study with the career academy because it was easy to work from home in my own time
Tamai Puki –
I wanted to complete online as I was working full time & have just recently had a baby so was great that I could choose when I could complete each assessment. I had a bit of trouble with the Smart Payroll assessment as there was not very clear instructions around the Salary and Public Holiday items. The manual did not really show examples of how you enter public holidays when a employee is paid a salary
Jennie Roberts –
I liked being able to study at home, in my own time, fitting in my own schedule. Perfect for mum at home with kids. I would like to see more topics on myob and zero
Janelle Crawley –
I chose to study with the career academy because I was wanting to change my career path, and found the Career academy online when googling options – staff were very helpful and cost afforable Improvement: I found the MYOB Payroll assignment very hard, and felt the course content difficult to understand (having no previous payroll experience). Maybe some practical exercises like with the excel assignment would be useful prior to completing the assignment.
James Young –
To refresh my knowledge of Accountancy and as a selling tool. To all the Tutors who marked my work – I really appreciated your constructive and helpful feed back – Many thanks, James
Kendall C Smith –
I think tutors need to be on the same page and have the same marking criteria, there have been a few cases where one tutor will mark it correct then another tutor will mark the same question something else. It gets very confusing and you start to doubt your abilities when you're having different tutors give out different marks Because I could study from home while being a stay at home mum, I didn;t have to organize childcare and can work in my own time and pace Overall It was great to lean! If I needed help the tutors were very helpful
Kim Bassett –
I chose the career academy Because it is via correspondence and working full time, this is very helpful. Perhaps the assessments a little clearer as to what is expected. Overall a great course, for me it was quite hard as I have not worked in finance, didn't pass school cert maths (over 20 years ago) and haven;t done anything like this since. I am glad I did the course as it has given me confidence to proceed further with other finance/accounting courses.
Tina Cornes –
I chose the career academy because it was chosen by my workplace improvement to be made: the tutors answering the questions you ask, instead of in circles
Rachael Breen –
It was online and I could do in in my spare time. Tracy has been very patient and thorough with me. I am grateful for having such an awesome tutor to Clarify things out to me when I needed it. Thanks Tracy! Quicker response times to questions.
It was very frustrating when I had an allotted time to study and I got stuck. waiting for a response for my questions was frustrating as I could only study in the allotted time I had for myself. But that is probably the only downfall of the course, But I guess thats the nature with studying online. The instructors were very helpful when I rang up and asked questions.
Anita Vesey –
It provided a course that was relevant to the area that I needed to up skill in. Generally a very good course, I thoroughly enjoyed completing it and found it challenging in a lot of areas I thought I was quite well experienced in, so that was good. And I came away with a lot of new knowledge too. There are quite a few typos within the course material. Even in one of the online quizzes, there was an answer which was 1 cent out, but there was no way I could have passed it unless I entered in the wrong amount. There was a whole section missing out of my hardcopy folder, even though the page numbers continued correctly. It was at the beginning of the course.
Jacqueline Rogers –
Enjoyed the course – tutors were really helpful

I would say that the course is excellent as it provides the topic i need. Thank you very much for the help you extended to me in finishing this course.

The whole process from initial discussions with the Student Advisor through to help and advice from the tutors has been fantastic. Responses are quick and address any queries. The course material is relevant. When I was unsure the guidance to find the solution was great. You are encouraged to find the solution yourself. I liked this. It ensures students have read all information and additional material.I feel the knowledge gained from the courses has given me the confidence to go out and get some experience with the goal of working for myself in the near future.I have been happy with my overall experience, so much so I have enrolled in a further 2 courses to aid me in meeting my goal of self employment
Debs Ross –
Really good – enjoyed the course
Prakash Adhikari –
No issues – enjoyed it
Mina Garratt –
I wanted to be able to find a part time job after studying this course. Make the questions match the course materials. provide more video clips for the course. Allow more than two upload files for the assignment
Jacqueline Rood –

I choose the career academy because they were the only one who had the courses I wanted.Angela Mcgaw one of tutors was awesome answering my questions and marking within 2 days 🙂
Amy (Amelia) Bode –
I chose The Career Academy because this course is recommended by The Bookkeepers Assoc.
Emma Biggam –
Loving the course so far, the material is really easy to work through, just getting used to finding my way around moodle at the moment. Other than a welcome call I have not had contact with the tutors yet.
Thomas Arnold –
It was important to fit the course around my working hours which can vary widely so the course fitted in perfectly.
Sandra Phippen –
I enjoyed the course, found the majority of it very easy. But guess having done a lot of that type of work that’s why. I think there could be a few more practical questions. The tutors are very helpful and responsive and i would consider further study with The Career Academy.
Jaylene Haimona –
Course is great because you can do it online and at your own pace which is what I like.
Nardea Mio –
Online study suits me best
Sarah Paver –
I googled it as I wished to further my bookkeeping knowledge in my own time. The initial logging in. I was very unsure what I had to do and just started reading the Guide to Bookkeeping book which I had downloaded and I was very confused how I was going to be tested on the facts. I had to speak to someone and they realised what I was missing! Probably my fault but I was so keen to get started and sort of lost my way. The tutors were really helpful and happy to guide me if I was unsure on any thing.
Riana Van Der Waals –
Friends recommendation. Nothing that I can think of, but I havent done any other NZ courses to compare it with.

Joyce Purcell –
Being able to do this from home in my own time and great communication with tutors online.

Detailed modules and the bookkeeping book will always be a great reference/resource tool to use in future. I enjoyed the assessments and they were reflective of the learning in each module. I enjoyed the assessments also as they were in line with the learning from each module.
Rebecca Anderson –
The learning materials are current, and easy to read and understand. The tutors provide valuable feedback in relation to assessments submitted.
Karen Davis –
I am learning heaps! I like the practical exercises, the videos and the clear explanations in the modules. Having the textbook also helps as it is a reliable reference. Feedback from markers is good.

For me it was very good as it is. Enough information I can apply to my daily work not too much to overwhelm and not to little that is not enough..I was able to easily fit it in my busy life.
Andrea Canning –
This course was recommended to me by a colleague, who is an accountant. I enjoyed the challenge – thanks
Baoling Zhang –
I’ve chosen Career Academy because of the student reviews, the time frame, and cost is adjustable. The interest free payment is definitely what made it possible for me. Thank you. The presentation videos by Daniel Hunt needs reviewing.
ive tried running it on my laptop and desktop, it doesnt run the way it should (assuming).
Some videos, when the voice is active, the image doesnt play & vice versa. Some videos, the image is over expose and I could only see section of an image being described. But because its repeating the text materials, I didnt need to depend on the videos. I want to thank the tutor, I appreciate their time spent marking our assignments. Their guidance helped me pass assignment from one to the next.
They definitely make sure you show an understanding of the context before giving you a pass. It feels tough at the time, but I fully appreciate it. 🙂
Christina Grainer –
I chose to study with the Career Academy because of the interest free payments were what made me decide to study with C A there needs to be consistency with the marking, some things i passed my friends failed and visa versa
Angeline Pretty –
The course is very clear and well set out. I have found when I have contacted the tutors with a query, they have given me a clear answer and I have not been made to feel silly. Wonderful Tutors, thank you so much!
Toni Ellison –
The tutors comments were valuable. I have no complaints about any of the tutors or the course. The course content was easy to follow and understand. I learnt a lot from it and also has given me confidence in my abilities with regards to my employment. Thank you
Renee Craw –
Amazing, excellent communication. Easy to understand course content.
Aimee Louise Bate –
Found The Career Academy online while searching for career options that may allow me to study and then work from home while raising my family. The Career Academy was able to provide exactly what I was after.
Sandra Hewinson –
The course is challenging in parts. I have to be honest and say I have been frustrated by some poor marking, ie things marked correctly when they have been incorrect and vice versa. It takes a long time to track this error down. On the phone tutors have been very helpful and have clarified things for me. I do have a few suggestions for making things easier to access, ie after having read course notes on a subject, the only way to go back to the beginning is to click on ‘Certificate in Bookkeeping’ rather than FBT module for example. Sorry its hard to describe this here. Overall I am proud of my achievement so far and look forward to being finished in the very near future.
Lauren Lopez –
I love everything about the course!
Susan Scott –
I really enjoyed the course and I am ready for something a bit more challenging now. As I work in health care and have absolutely no experience in the financial sector this was a great place to start.
Julie Hazlett –
Overall I found the course enjoyable and easy to follow The tutors were very quick in getting the assessment results back to me I would recommend it to anyone else thinking of going down this route I chose to study with The Career Academy to refresh my skills with the view to becoming a self employed Bookkeeper. An online course suited me better and I know someone who did this course and they were able to recommend it.
Could do more video lessons. I felt they were helpful and supported the course material.
Kendra Stephenson –
Flexibility of studying from home and setting my own hours. Course topics were exactly what I was looking for and the connection to the NZBAI. Everything was excellent. A great overall experience. Thank you.
Karen Davis –
I chose to study with the Career Academy because of the NZBAI Certification – You need to improve the moodle structure – it needs side bar links to each section. it is very tiresome scrolling through all the sections to reach the one you are doing. The Excel section could have some more content on accounting specific formulas – most of the content was very familiar as a general excel user (such as fomatting, sorting etc)and I would have liked to have looked more at how to use Excel to achieve more complex accounting goals
Thania Van Der Merwe –
excellent – great company
Ayla Allen –
This bookkeeping course has an accreditation by the NZBAI (and free membership for twelve months) which was the deciding factor for me. However, the online format and duration were also positives for me.
Sathya Sumanthiran –
I am so pleased to say I loved the entire course. All the aspects of the course designed by the Career Academy with extraordinary tutors , easy access, flexible study and payment plan encouraged me to fulfill my needs with interest.
Helen Howlett –
I have had contact with the tutors a couple of times – mostly about administrative stuff. I found their responses very helpful and also they came through very quickly. Same for assignment marking. I liked that the course could be done at your own pace. I was happy with the resources provided – I used the textbook lots and the course notes were a good idea because it meant I did not have to print anything myself. I would recommend the Career Academy to my friends and family and will potentially do another course in the future.
Mary Vendel –
Very good I am just taking it slow because I have never done this before.
Mary Cunningham –
The tutors were helpful and always available for lengthy discussions. I liked the practical examples and the assessments were the best way to put into practice what I had learned.
Leanne Bogle –
I am really enjoying this course, I decided to do this online course to gain myself more knowledge and qualifications, as a mother of three young children this online course has made that possible. I am very happy with the support and feedback from the tutors as I work through each module, they are very quick to reply to any questions you may have, they give great encouragement to move on and achieve the best from the course.
Leanne Bogle
Tina Cornes –
its pretty good! i get a bit confused when you are reading and leaning about something then when you do the assessment that is not included in it. the tutors are very helpful
Marvic Alido –
I truly enjoyed the course in terms of the management of its modules (sequential). The materials are clear and easily understood. Being able to access the Smart Payroll system is very helpful and definitely boosted my confidence. The tutors are so in touch and very encouraging. I am so looking forward to starting the XERO and MYOB system next. I am pretty sure they will be exciting.

Only problem was my own self management of my study times.
Thank You
Great course!

I chose Career Academy because it gave interest free term payments which suited my situation very much. When i searched bookkeeping for a course the Career Academy stood out amongst them all. Thank you providing such a great service, much appreciated for the opportunity to participate in your courses.
Emiliana Burke –
The tutors at Career Academy are very helpful. Even though course was a good challenge, it built off of my prior knowledge and was really worth-while. I particularly enjoyed the fact that it is an online course and you do not have to be physically present in a class-room.
Tania Paul –
The course has been great and it’s relevant to my job so I’m finding it very useful. I haven’t had much to do with the tutors but I find they always respond promptly to any queries I have. There was one instance where an assignment submission I received back with marks wasn’t actually my assignment. It was very disconcerting however when I spoke to the head tutor he was very apologetic and it was rectified immediately.
Marlene Patterson –
Awesome. They explain. Assignment really. We’ll and I am getting to understand What the assignment all about and I enjoy every minute
Thank you

Robert Pusey –

Raylene Bane –
Excellent – always very helpful!
Kim Angela Rennie –
I had and still do have an interest in Xero. I decided that I would like to work from home as a Certified Xero Trainer and book keeper, and to do this, I had to become a book keeper first. Xero guided me to The Career Academy to do this. The tutors were always very positive and encouraging with their feedback.
Lauren Balenti –
I think the course is put together well, but the thing I love most is the friendly and informative tutors who never laugh at my silly questions or ever let on any feelings of frustration with me. I am very grateful for their patience 🙂

The tutors are very helpful. I am partially deaf, so there were some issues with communication – I needed some of the tutors to speak more clearly. I also found that the tutors had very different teaching styles which could be quite confusing at times.
I am enjoying the courses because I know it is leading towards me getting a qualification and hopefully a job.
In regards to the course material, I myself am a visual learner and I would like to see more visual representations. For example, I would like to see the final answer of how a project is supposed to look (a mock answer) so that I am able to work off of that.
I was also unaware of the course materials being available at the beginning of my course and had a lot of hassle trying to print things off. This might need to be communicated more clearly when people start the course.

I went online to find out about bookkeeping courses, and was impressed with the course content, and The Career Academy website and vibe. A bit scary for an older student though!!! I would like to thank all the tutors who have helped me, I did ask lots of questions, so sorry about that!
The enthusiasm and encouragement of the tutors has definitely helped me, particularly as I haven’t
studied since year 13 in 1979.

Extra support would be helpful Because of the brilliant reviews
Kim Lucia Bishop –
Spotted an ad in the community paper from a book-keeping company saying that one of their staff had just completed the certificate in book-keeping via Career Academy so I looked you up on line. It was good and quite a nice way to study with only the one deadline being the end of the 6 months instead of numerous ones throughout the course. Stress free If new to on line learning it would be nice to have more information on how to go about resubmitting assignments so as not to resubmit the same one

The information is explained in a clear and concise manner. I like that there’s a lot of different explanations and ways to learn – there’s the manual, the information on the website, and there is often an example to do or a small video to watch as well. The tutors have been very positive in their feedback and are quite motivational.

Jacqueline Maguire –
For a while I had thought of Accounting as a new career move, so your Bookkeeping course seemed like a great first step to take. I have not been disappointed and the course has given me renewed confidence in my ability to learn as a mature student, plus it has fueled a desire to carry on learning. A few of the topics were very long, therefore a quiz or two would have helped to make it easier to learn. Overall though I cannot fault the course as it was challenging and interesting, leaving me feeling like I’ve learnt a great deal about Bookkeeping, and a stepping stone to Accounting. Thanks for a truly great course which I would not hesitate to encourage others to do.
Amy Waghorn –
I’m enjoying it – parts of this course are a little difficult so I’ve found myself struggling occasionally, but overall it’s been good. I’m finding it helpful. The tutors are great most of the time, though sometimes they can be a bit vague in terms of answering questions on the course

Great course! It related very well to the skills needed to progress in my retail career from salesperson to management.

The course is good. The content was quite challenging and there was a lot to do to move forward to the next stage. The assessments were pretty complex. Good overall, but a lot more effort than I expected.

I enjoyed the course and thank you Sean Singh and Sara Mullins for taking the time to review my assignments and mark them.

The tutors were really great. I would have liked the course to be a bit more challenging, as it was a little easy for me. That being said, it was also easy to understand and follow, and very straightforward. I enjoyed studying this course.

I chose TCA to improve my knowledge and revise so I can do well in my business I have just started and my clients can have confidence in my knowledge. I am glad that I completed this. As an adult student it is hard but worth it for sure,

The modules I’ve worked through have been good. The course is challenging but manageable, with great tutors. I use this material at my job, and it’s interesting to learn different scenarios and apply them to what I already know.
Kathryn Fairbairn –
Best available and had options for both MYOB & Xero.
Apart from some minor editing with the course assignments, Everything was great. It was challenging enough to make you actually think and the help and feedback was superb. Highly recommend it. Will be looking to complete more study now, need to expand my knowledge further.
Soojin Morris –
I wanted to learn accounting properly. I found the career Academy on the web and it was highly rated by other students. Then I had a meeting with Daniel Hunt and his team, to discuss possibly signing up for the course and I appreciated his vision, enthusiasm and excellence as an educator. After that I immediately enrolled the course. This course changed my life!
I started with no knowledge of accounting, but now, I perceive and understand accounting clearly and fearlessly.
My view has broadened across the board with accounting and business.
I’ve gain real skills I can use daily.
Thank you, I’m very grateful.

I have found the course to be quite good, though I would like it if the expected turn around on the physical course notes could be shorter.

I have experience in this area and am starting my own business in bookkeeping, so I mainly took this course to get the certification. I found the content relatively easy as a result but it’d be great for a first time learner. The tutors were very good about getting back to me and marked all the assignments quite quickly. Great communication throughout the duration of the course.

Shelley Jenkins –
I really enjoy the ease of being able to study online and at home, and being able to pay the course off in a payment plan is a huge advantage. There’s not much I can think of that needs to be improved – the assessments are sometimes a bit slow to be remarked when they’re submitted a second time, but other than that it’s been excellent.
Emma Benitez –

This is a very informative course with useful content. I have a background in bookkeeping so this was a helpful way to refresh some of my knowledge. The tutors were great – there was one part of the course that I got really stuck on and they were able to help me figure out what to do.
Rochelle McGill –
I wanted to improve my knowledge of the latest bookkeeping information and be a qualified bookkeeper, so that I could be confident in applying for positions in this field. The course was really enjoyable and helpful. We learned a lot about the manual side of bookkeeping but it would have been good to include some more practice with the reports side, so we can see all that we learned regarding the management accounts coming together at the end.I do not feel qualified now to be self employed doing peoples’ books, but I do feel confident that I could apply for a job in an office environment.

I find it hard not being able to do it in a classroom, because it’s not an environment in which you can ask a quick question. I usually have to phone or email to get questions answered, and it’s hard to find the time while working full time as well. The wording of some of the information can be a bit ambiguous.

The course was really good; I thought it was both challenging and useful. The tutors were pretty helpful. I didn’t need a lot of assistance from them as I mostly was able to work through it on my own, but they were good about getting back to me when I turned in assignments. The modules could use a little bit more information, as I occasionally had to research outside of the course, but overall it was excellent.

It’s been cool so far. This is my first online course and it’s been challenging from time to time, especially with submitting assignments – sometimes I needed to add more to the assignment for it to be approved – but it’s all been really helpful.

The course is good so far. I’m feeling happier now that I’m getting towards the end, I did struggle a bit in the middle. I prefer to do courses in class so it was an adjustment to work on an online course. I’m glad that I bought the textbook because I find it to be much more helpful having something in print to refer to. The feedback from the tutors was good.

It’s such a great feeling to go through the material and realize that I am capable of doing it right. Really enjoying this course!
Cherie Green –
I did accounting for the last 15 years and the certificate course is pretty good! The content is really good in terms of bookkeeping, Xero is a bit basic but I realized that The Career Academy offers a full Xero course so that’s an option if someone wanted to learn more. I would also like to have the option of getting either an eBook or a hard copy of the book, because I didn’t like having to pay a little extra to get the hard copy. But overall, it’s all straightforward and this course is above average, it’s helping me get back into the swing of things!

So far I am quite enjoying my course. The feedback I am getting seems positive enough. I have made some errors and once this has been corrected I have carried on. The course itself is easy to follow and the explanations are very good. The tutors always give me positive feedback even if I have gone wrong, which I find very encouraging. The only problem I have is trying to find the time to fit the course in. As I work nearly full time I can only fit it in at the weekend. I did do some assessments after work as night time but found my concentration wasn’t the best then.

Kind regards,

The Career Academy is a good choice because it perfectly suits my busy schedule. It delivered the online education I am looking for and it’s so favorable to me since I can study at my own pace, anytime and anywhere. The study materials are great, it awesomely satisfied and filled the gaps of knowledge or learning that I need. I have completed the Certificate in Xero Accounting and Payroll, and I’ve just finished Certificate in Bookkeeping. I won’t be having second thought recommending these to a friend. Thanks to Career Academy, you guys are of great help and awesome.

It looked like they offered the best of the options and cover both NZ and Australian bookkeeping practices which was what I needed. It would be good if when you finish a paper/module that it didn’t take you back to the beginning again but rather you could click on to next topic. MYOB I couldn’t submit as there was no way to go back if you made a mistake, I found MYOB very hard to follow also compared to XERO. A suggestion would be to also have more on actual design of a financial spreadsheet in the Excel module rather than just focusing on Petty Cash as not all small businesses have a need to have MYOB or XERO applications as they could be a more service based business.
Samantha Lyons –
I have previous experience in various financial roles however have been a stay at home mum for the last 4 years and will continue to do so for another 3 years until my youngest goes to school. I wanted to plan ahead for re-entering the industry as by then will have not worked in 7 years! I felt this would be the best course for me to do and since starting have decided to set up my own bookkeeping business that I can work from home in my odd moments of free time to gain further experience.

This was recommended to me by a family member. I really appreciated the positive comments from the tutors, even when I had a bit wrong here and there, the tutors were still positive and pointed me in the right direction. thank you.
Some questions were a little vague and I spent quite a bit of time trying to interpret what was wanted. Eg; when asked what would you do for this? and there could have been two answers depending on the situation. eg: GST would apply in this situation and but not in this. Otherwise I really enjoyed the course and learnt a lot.

I had been searching the Bookkeepers site following receiving Xero certification and followed the link and decided it would be a useful certificate to obtain and continue an association with the association. I’m not sure whether I missed an instruction at the start but I didn’t know how to get the feedback on assignments that received a resubmit. I got really disheartened a couple of times and it certainly wasted alot of my time as I reworked entire assignments. When I completed the MYOB section I managed to download what appeared to be the wrong file even though I thought I had been careful each step of the way. I received new instructions for the new file which didn’t entirely gel with the content and needed a bit of proofreading. The my assignment got marked against the original instructions and received a resubmit even tho it was correct. Not sure if it exists and I have missed it but a FAQ section that could be looked up instead of clicking the online help might be useful. I would like thank Tracey as she has been quick to correct any issues that came my way. I appreciated her time.

I wanted to earn a qualification that I could apply to a professional setting. The tutors were great. Every time I rang and had a bit of despair in my voice they were always calm and walked me through my concerns until the lightbulb went off. I was very impressed with this. I feel like there could be more assessments that test knowledge on particularly difficult topics that are definitely used in a real world setting, such as GST returns and Depreciation. Those were difficult assessments to complete however I wish there were more so that I could really push myself to better understanding.

Because it’s online you can work it in with family and work. Found tutors very obliging and helpful. Feel like I have achieved what I set out to do – filling in the bits and pieces I don’t use regularly in my work now. Thank you.
Some questions were ambiguous. Hard copy course notes don’t match the online course always. Might be worth noting on the online course that video clips have been removed, or if there are problems with things like dates in MYOB, make a note so the student isn’t trying to work it out unnecessarily.
Anonymous –
I went with this course because It came up on google when searching for bookkeeping courses and you could pay it off. Some of the assessments need proof reading as dates were from previous periods, another assignment noted that there was a profit and loss and balance sheet (but there was actually no balance sheet provided). The MYOB assessment was out of date.
I also think there should be more working examples for practice.
Anonymous –
I went with this course because It came up on google when searching for bookkeeping courses and you could pay it off. Some of the assessments need proof reading as dates were from previous periods, another assignment noted that there was a profit and loss and balance sheet (but there was actually no balance sheet provided). The MYOB assessment was out of date.
I also think there should be more working examples for practice.
Janet McIver –
Brandon has been very helpful and prompt action at his end. Very satisfied
Sarah Dodd –
Fast response and very helpful.
Sheryl Holmes –
This course has been really great for me. The tutor helped me alot and everything was easy to follow yet valuable to my knowledge.
Dishna Dissanayake –
It was great.I gain more confidence with your support.Thank you!

I’m possibly going to sign up to a more advanced level of certification now that I have been able to complete the Cert in Bookkeeping.
I’d like to just commend the course tutor Tracey Anand for providing me a course extension, it’s motivated me to complete the couse after a very tough year so far, and to get over the mental and emotional hurdles, so a big Thank You to Tracey.
Also, I’d like to thank the course tutors who have been so very encouraging, it’s great to get the very positive feedback upon receipt of assignments submitted, again Tracey and Sean Singh toward the final stages, and others.Thanks for giving me a better grasp of a subject matter that is otherwise quite dry. I like the topic on Budgets and Forecasting and Cash Flow Management particularly, well explained in the main, although I did do more research to really get a much better understanding for myself. VAT and TAX are difficult areas and I doubt I’ll ever really get to like them although they are important areas. I do think that some of the topics could do with more explanations although an internet search would find you the bulk of what you are looking for. It did cause me to try and get an understand of these areas myself, so that in itself is a good thing 🙂 Apart from that, I think that the navigation on the course could be improved eg if I were to follow the link from the course to go to a Xero tutorial, when it completes, and I click to go back to the course, it sends me back to the start of the course. It’d be nice to be directed to the next stage after Xero tutorial (as per my example), not a difficult thing to change on the website. I am not particularly good at coding but I could create a website and links are an easy matter to get right, not being aknow it all here, and if I come across as such, please excuse. The website builder should have got that right, a simple matter, that could reduce a lot of frustration and clicks. I am happy to have completed something for once, so many thanks to Tracey and team.

Thank you so much for the support: as a mature student I struggle with technology!

Fast Response

I chose The Career Academy because of its flexibility and the fact that it’s a online learning facility. One thing I would change is adding more detailed topics to the course.
Magdalena Adamska –
It’s great course if you are working full time.
Gives you time and opportunity to study in your own time.
To be honest I am very happy with course.
Help was always there when I needed it.
I wouldn’t change anything.
Looking forward to start my next course Start your own Bookkeeping Course
Shelly Thompson –
I chose the Career Academy because the website advised me that you covered a wide range of topics for an affordable price in an achievable time frame. Plus the friendly but not pushy chats over the phone discussing my goals, helped finalise my decision to participate in the course. The only minor hiccup I had at times, was sometimes for the assessments, I felt there could’ve been just a little more information provided for the case studies which would’ve helped me complete the assessments with more clarity. The tutors were great. They were very efficient in their responses and feedback was kept positive and encouraging. Overall I was very happy with the course and wish to thank all the tutors involved for their time and feedback. I have taken any advice provided on board.

I found this course through Google and saw that it was recommended by NZ Bookkeeping Association. Thank you for the great course.
Mandy Richards –
As a stay at home mum, I needed to do a course which was flexible and online and this one suited me well.
Robyn Andrew –
I went with The Career Academy because It had a great course selection and the course objectives were exactly what I wanted to learn. Some of the formatting of the assignment templates could be improved; I tended to update all of that first so that my assignments were clear and easy to follow. But otherwise, thanks so much for being so flexible. I had a baby halfway through my course, and without support of the tutors and administration to get an extension I would have really struggled to complete my course. Really appreciate that!!
Joanna Walker –
It seemed to offer what I wanted and had the endorsement of the NZ Bookkeepers Association. Kind and positive comments with all assignments.
Haard Mehta –
More real life examples could be improved. The course was easy, convenient and flexible to pick up where you left off.
Anna Marie Hyland –
I wanted a refresher in aspects of accounting which I had previously worked in and liked the idea of getting a qualification and ICB membership too.

I was recommended by a friend. Loved the written format when I ordered it, as internet at home is not always reliable
Alan Hayward –
I chose the career academy because I had heard of their helpful guidance and they offered the course I wanted. Very good course. Thank you
Susanna Kruger –
Excellent. A wonderful course – I loved it
Denise M O’Connor –
Good reviews was the reason why I wanted to study with the career academy.
Donna Joyce –
The only place I found to study that had a certified course in bookkeeping was the reason I wanted to study with the career academy.
Rebecca Louth –
Yes I am enjoying learning about bookkeeping. I have only completed one module so far, but I like learning about double entry accounting. I even like that supportive emails, have an acronym guide easily accesible in the book :). This course claims no prior experience in bookkeeping etc was necessary and generally explains things quite well, but there is a lot of jargon in this book/course and I think prior experience or knowledge would be quite useful (I do have some experience in account work) In the book, sometimes acronyms are used after only seeing the phrase once or it seemed sometimes, nonce!
Andrea Scott –
An ex-work colleague suggested it as she also completed this certificate this year – I never knew there were these types of courses. I hadn’t heard of the career academy so I’m really glad she mentioned it.
Karen Leonard –
Great course
Esther Stephenson –
Great. It was recommended by our accountant.
Tracey Messinger –
I wanted to update my bookkeeping knowledge as I am now running a couple of businesses and my previous qualification were gained in the UK. The flexibility of learning at home and at my own pace suited me at this time.
Betty Mcintyre –
Overall I thought the course was excellent for a beginner like myself but probably a few more exercises would be good to make the information to be remember. I enjoyed excel and MYOB. I have learn a lot from the course and will be doing more courses in the near future. I chose the career academy because of the price and being able to set up a payment plan rather than having to sort out a student loan. Probably more lectures that can be watched would be a great idea, otherwise great course.
Brian McArdle –
I wanted a course that could be completed in full using on-electronic media. I am not interested in old style pen & paper examination techniques. I approve of your approach and would recommend the course to other students. I had taken a paper based course in 2015 and this helped my understanding going through each topic.
Development of any skill takes time and the range of course available on your web site should provide comprehensive training for the average student.
I am satisfied to register for further courses.
Jomel Dorado –
Excellent course.
Judith Hall –
Great. I did choose to study with The Career Academy because it is very handy. It is studying online and at your own phase. Thank you and god bless you
Sarah Espiritu –
Nothing really could be improved as you have presented the course in a very clear and easy to follow guide and instructions. I have been wanting to gauge my skills (learnt through experience) and enhance my career with a certificate but doing it at home and with the flexibility that was afford was a real bonus. I would like to thank you all within the career academy for the support from the tutors and admin for allowing me to extend my course time and finish it. Thank you very much. I will be taking a diploma course sometime soon.
Elaine Jones –
Help was available when I needed it. I will be able to apply the knowledge learned. The Course was excellent overall

Best thin is you got your certificate after course and you could do it on your free time.
Masina parkes –
The assessment instructions were clear and easy to follow and the tutor was knowledgeable.
Nicole Jackson –
The flexibility of completing a certificate online, but at the same time having a completion date to keep me motivated appealed to me. The course was also directly linked to the Bookkeepers Association so I new my certificate would be recognised by my peers and clients. This is the first time doing an online course. I had previously completed a Bachelors Degree by the traditional route. It was difficult not having fellow students and teachers work side by side with me but once I got use to it I was away. I would highly recommended the Career Academy to anyone looking to do flexible study. Thanks
Julie Cameron –
it was online and having 3 kids at home it was convenient that I could do this course in my own time and not having to visit centres to sit the assignments. overall I thought this was a great course I learned exactly what I wanted to the course tutors were a great help and I never waited any more than a few hours for a response or for my assignments to be marked. Great course looking forward studying another course in the future.
Alexis Nankivell –
I wanted to do some study and was interested in the courses I saw, and the interest free payments. It was great how quick the tutor would respond when I needed help with aspects of the assignments.
Deborah Tawa –
I liked the fact that I had a text book as reading online can be more difficult. I was talking to my accountant who had done the book keeping course and it suited what I wanted to learn.
Zoe Dickins –
The support I have received from the staff at Career Academy has been awesome. Especially from Sarah who has been so easy to work with and very helpful. I’m so happy with there support I’ve enrolled for another course already. Thank you so much
Austine raphael –
good overall. I choose to study with The Career Academy because of its good reputation in delivery of standard courses.
Becs Allanson –
Best online study I have done. Very well set up with great communication and support.
Ellyn Geismann Brunskill –
I’m really happy with choosing the Career Academy for my online course in bookkeeping. I love studying online and the tutors make it all so very helpful and efficient. My work is always graded super fast and clearly. I know exactly what I need to do. My learning is therefore really focused and efficient. I love learning online because it helps me learn in a very streamlined way. I will probably go on to get more education after I finish this diplome with The Career Academy. Thank you Career Academy!
Monique Manzella –
The certificate in bookkeeping course is delivered in a clear and concise format. The tutors have been easy to contact and very patient. So far, so good.
Dallas Baker –
I’ve just signed up for the Certificate in Bookkeeping. So far so good!
Carina Gostick –
Tracey was very helpful in answering my many, many little queries. My little queries were answered very promptly 🙂
Yogeshwari Rupa –
I found Sophia kind, patient and very supportive. She carefully answered all my queries and explained thoroughly.
Lisa Pallister –
Tracey was fantastic!
Jodie McGarvey –
I don’t require much support because the course material was self-explanatory, but when I did have a question the tutor or admin support replied quickly and their communication was efficient, to the point, and helpful. I am enjoying my study and have highly recommended these courses to others. Thanks heaps…thanks to Tracey I can say I feel better about where I am at..and her talking to me and explaining what and how has now helped me understand where I had gone wrong with the difficulty I was having. I’m total satisfied with the quality of support at the Career Academy. Thank you.
Alicia Radford –
Having printed course notes is excellent. I can read everything in details again and again (So much easier than reading the content online). I can also make detailed notes as I work through my course and everything is so much more structured in a folder (I can even add additional pages in). I then go onto a Moodle and submit each assignment online. Thanks – The printed course notes are great
Roz White –
I started my course with The Career Academy and I am half way through. Like some of the other reviewers I was hesitant to start a course as I was not sure what it would be like or if it would fulfill what I needed. However no concerns now, it is a fantastic course and as I am working on upskilling I am feeling very confident as I work my way through.
The tutors are great and supportive and I have replies to my requests/questions really quickly as well as each assignment being marked it seems within a day. Thank you for such a professional and stimulating course. I love it and I am very pleased I took the plunge!
Sarah Kong –
I wasn’t sure what to expect having never heard of the Career Academy before coming across them when researching about book keeping. I have been working through the Certificate in Bookkeeping and have been really impressed by the learning experience, but mostly by the efficiency and support of the tutors in marking and responding to any queries that I have in a supportive and extremely timely manner. Following this course I would definitely consider further courses that are provided and not hesitate in recommending them to anyone else who is interested in completing this study. Thank you Career Academy!
Carol Allen –
Having decided I needed a piece of paper to get ahead in this career driven world we live in, from the moment of first contact with Career Academy to recent assistance from the tutors and on going positive feedback so far on my submitted assignments … I would highly recommend them to anyone in my age group (approaching 60) as a positive way of achieving a goal.
Even if time delays occur due to life’s curve balls … An extension was obtainable, now counting down to obtaining the piece of paper….Certificate in Bookkeeping . Thank-you Career Academy
Audrey Carruthers Setu –
Great assistance..great resources available to students. Looking forward to finishing my course.

I am currently working as a Bookkeeper and wanted a qualification to support my experience.
Also, to become partnered with Xero I needed to be a qualified Bookkeeper. I really enjoyed the format of this course. The content is not difficult to understand and it will be very useful background knowledge for the future.
Beverley Lowton-Young –
I decided to study with The Career Academy because of its close affiliation with the Bookkeeping Association and CAANZ was definitely what tipped the balance, and the affordability of its online courses. It gives a no-nothing fink (as I was two months ago!) like me a foot in the door. It was very encouraging to receive the positive feedback from tutors and there was no question that I felt well supported throughout my studies. as with all study, it pushed buttons I’d forgotten I had, but ultimately I now feel better about myself and what I have to offer a potential employer. I will be recommending Career and am about to enrol on the Diploma in Accounting course… so more fun awaits! (you don’t get rid of me that easily). It’s almost a shame to have to find work. if I could just spend the rest of my life studying these things, I’l be the happiest camper.
Maaike Oosterlaar –
I decided to study this course with The Career Academy because of the link with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers. Good overall.
Danielle Rathgen –
I really find the course enjoyable, which in turn makes it easy to do, and vice versa. The tutors are friendly and helpful and the way they set the courses out makes it so doable for the average person. Do not regret enrolling at all I’m very happy I went with The Career Academy for my qualification
Kerry Brady –
I am currently doing the Certificate in Bookkeeping Course and I am finding this a very enjoyable learning experience. When I have needed help the tutors have either been a phone call or email away and have provided some useful insights. Due to the confidence in the Career Academy I have also decided to do a course in Accounts Receivable and Payable to help extend my job prospects. I appreciate your help and will recommend friends to take up one of your courses.
Maura Boyce –
Absolutely brilliant. Because it allowed me to study at my own pace and more importantly, it allowed me to study the exact course that suited my needs. Thanks so much – great service!!
Rachel Winstone –

Pavlina Rubesova –
Affordable, exesible by foreigners and very flexible.

Erana Morehu –

Lindsay Byrnes –
I have gained a sense of accomplishment by completing this course, having dropped out of bookkeeping in the 3rd form (a long time ago!!).
The tutors are incredibly supportive and I felt that no question was a dumb question. It was recommend by a friend.
Ang Keast –
I have been studying the online bookkeeping course for a few months now. As far as online learning goes The Career Academy are fantastic. The assessment results come back very quickly with really good feedback, any questions I have had are also answered quickly with good explanations and also notes to refer back too. Highly recommend for online study. smile emoticon
Eleonora Stoyanova –
Its been true pleasure to study with carrer academy. I enroled of bookkeeping and the tutors were very helpful avery time I needed one. I had a thorough feedback on my assignments, no pressure at all. It was great experience for me. A big THANK YOU
Pamela Scott –
The career have been a pleasure to deal with and what a flexible time frame to complete the course, thank you! It was affordable and easy to access online.
Celia Vick –
I have just started with the Career Academy and I absolutely love the course. I have completed my first assessment and it was graded and returned to me within 24 hours of submission.
I can access my course at any time of day. My course is practical and gives me working knowledge of what I am training to do.
Well presented and easy to understand and access. Being a mum of two kids, one a rambunctious toddler, having the ability to do my work around their timetables and my work timetable is a breeze.
Very excited to be furthering my career with the Career Academy.
Mele Lolohea –
Well prepared and easy to get along with my tutors. I also like the fact that they give you feedback all the time and they are always there to facilitate my learning.
Akiko Baggott –
It looked like a well organized online course and it gives a certification. Could improve usability but I god a good basic knowledge through the course. Thank you.
Jason Hooper –
I have been studying with The Career Academy from February and have been enjoying how flexible studying the Bookkeeping Certificate is with shift work. Fantastic, highly recommended
Kelly LevickJulie Vickers-Neely –
I am really enjoying my course and when I get stuck the tutors have been really good at pointing me in the right direction. They also helped solve my ebook issue so thanks guys! It is a very thorough and comprehensive bookkeeping course and will help me so much in my business and give me another skill to use should I change careers in the future. Would be great to have a direct phone line to you guys to get answers at the time as patience hasn’t always been my best quality smile emoticon
Juliet Haden –
Same day reply, before evening, which is good.
Alison Knowles –
I have not long started but loving it so far. I have struggled a little with being an older student and with work/family to juggle but was rest assured by my tutor and who has helped me get through my struggles, she is fantastic.
Catherine Stead –
I wish there a few more optional assignments for each topic to practice more with the topic. Still excellent overall.
Ann O’Driscoll –
I wanted a bookkeeping qualification that would be recognised by the Bookkeepers Association. The website is a bit unwieldy – I think it might be better to have more thoughtful links – simple things like being able to go back to where you were at, after submitting an assignment. In saying this, the tutors on this course are top class. All my assignments have been marked in record time. Every interaction has been really nice and supported.
Carol Ramachandran –
I am the mother of four children, in full-time employment, and also help run the family’s new restaurant, Mulan in Birkenhead. I recently made the time to successfully complete the Certificate in Bookkeeping with The Career Academy. I could just work at my own pace around the other demands on my time, the tutors were really supportive and quick to respond. Plus, tutor support was available on Saturdays – what a brilliant idea! It was just perfect for people like me who’re trying to juggle work, family life and study. I am going to go on to do the Diploma in Accounting.
Katie Lindsay –
I am really enjoying my continued learning journey with Career Academy. I have studied with many organisations as an external student and I have found Career Academy provides great support, quick assignment marking turnaround and excellent value for money. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to up-skill in a flexible learning environment.
Cortney Brooks –
I have been doing my Certificate in Bookkeeping with the intention of doing my diploma in Accounting next, growing up I was home schooled so have experience studying from home. I have to say I am very impressed with the prompt response, if I have any queries regarding my studies somebody gets back to me very quickly. Also the turn around in getting my assignments graded is impressive. Overall loving the studies and I am happy I went with The Career Academy. I would recommend.
Michelle Forde –
I searched on the interned and like what I read and course advisors were very helpful
Oleg Negru –
I am too busy at my work and cannot follow evening courses. The Career Academy offers a good opportunity to study on-line
Toni Crossman –
There were issues with uploading documents as there were often 1MB file limits. I would have liked a bit more of an in-depth study with Xero as there was with MYOB. Some of the course content was slightly vague, but was otherwise very good. I would like to start my own bookkeeping business and this was the most comprehensive online course that I could find. I have really enjoyed it 🙂
Minmin Li –
I think the general entries, trail balance, financial reports are the best parts. They are so clear and easy to follow. I think the he income tax for business topic could have more information for us to study more, such as annual imputation return, dividends. Because I dont know much about these. haha. and I would like to learn more in the future.
Efficient, affordable and practical
This is an excellent course. I have learnt a lot from this course. This is the best accounting course I have ever had. I feel like I have more confidence about my accounting skills now and I believe I can be better in the future. The tutors are all very helpful and knowledge.
Leigh Eade –

Benedicte Duprouilh –

Probably should have more around analysing the Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet. Decided to study with the Career Academy to gain a certificate in Bookkeeping and become a member of the Bookkeepers Assn. Keep up the good work.
Lena Faalavaau –
I chose to study with the career academy because of the option to study at my own pace and still work full time. It also offered the Certificate of Bookkeeping. I really enjoyed learning the ins and outs of bookkeeping. I have been doing the books for my partners building company for the last 7years, and was surprised/horrified to find out there was tons of things I did not know (or had been doing wrong!) So this course was really informative, and I have a way better understanding of bookkeeping now.
John Murphy –
I decided to study with The Career Academy because the online aspect important and study can be carried out at any time. I found the course excellent and will continue using free trial of software applications.
Course laid out very well and easy to follow.
Zoe Eruera –
I decided to study with The Career Academy because it is the only place I could find that would allow an affiliation with the Bookkeeping Association. The content in the course was good and the skills covered were very useful for small business bookkeeping. Thank you.
Haiyan Zhang –

Sharon Pattle –
Overall the course was awesome. The only option and availability to do the course in my free time.
Leeyan Jensen –
I’m Leanne and a current student of The Career Academy. I’ve worked off and on in accounts most of my adult life.
In difference to the commonly held view that it is not a terribly exciting job, I have enjoyed doing the books for an advertising agency while living in Zimbabwe, worked in London CBD for the UKs largest multi national company and I’m about to start my own book keeping business in Taupo. But one thing has always bugged me and that is I have never been formally qualified. I could get away with this 25 years ago when everything was done with a calculator and a pencil but with the regulation changes in the accounting industry and a social change to be better up skilled I could not afford to be left behind.
I discovered The Career Academy online and honestly couldn’t have been more excited. They offered me the exact qualification, I was after at a super competitive price and offered learning at my own pace. Very soon I had achieved my ambition and completed my Certificate in Bookkeeping. More than just gaining a certificate, the satisfaction did wonders for my self-confidence. Now I really do feel I am part of an industry club. I’m being recognized by my peers as an equal. The confidence I gained then encouraged me to take the next step and I quickly enrolled in the Diploma of Accounting also with The Career Academy. The Leanne of 12 months ago is a totally different person to the Leanne of today.
Cory Stark –
I decided to study with The Career Academy because they should have the knowledge for the desired work environment I am aiming for and the need to do by correspondence was strong as need to continue to work with two children in private schools.
George Thomas Peedikayil –
Excellent – it was very easy for me so I could not find any area that needed improvement. I decided to study with The Career Academy because it was flexible and easy to understand. The website says it gives 12 month free subscription to Institute of Book Keepers.
Phillipa Mayers –
I liked that if I needed support Tutors were on hand and that I could proceed with the course at my own pace. Nothing could be improved.

Sophia (tutor) replied to my assignments quickly and made it more easier to follow up my assessments. I like her very much because she gave me a lot of encouragement and was always saying the kind words. This makes students like me feel more motivated to continue my study. Sophia also gave me understandable comments in my assessments so I can easily understand my mistakes in the assessment.
Monique Ekdahl –
I decided to study with The Career Academy because they had good reviews, online learning and have been able to study when I could fit it in.
Martina Boylan –
Overall it was a great way to study. I would recommend it to anyone looking to up skill. It had the content that i needed to get back into book keeping. I really enjoyed doing this course. It gave me the confidence I needed to get back to doing book keeping. I loved the fact I could do it in my own time. The feed back and help I got was great and always within 24 hours. I am looking forward to doing my next course with Career Academy.
Susie Easterbrook –
It was recommended to me. I can’t see any way of improving the course, it was fantastic! Fabulous course, Thank you.
Marcela Moreira –
I liked the content of the course, the price, the payment method and the study method.
David Trotter –
Yahoo so so good doing this course, so much to say about this, it was great. Hey thank all you guys!!
Tyler McLuckie –
I have found the written information easy to follow and love the use of video tutorials as a way of reinforcing the information. The tutors have always been helpful and have been the key to completing my bookkeeping course successfully. The only thing that I would really like as an extra bonus is a little bit of support offered to students who have completed their course and are now looking for work who may need practical advice while on a job for a period of time. Otherwise, the course was excellent – it was an accredited course that I could fit around my schedule by doing it online.
Ayesha Singh –
Career Academy has the best payment plans which I could afford. Very helpful and supportive tutors.
Jo Brown –
I found out about this course on the Bookkeeping Association website. Nothing could be improved. The tutor was knowledgeable and the content was relevant and useful.

Hi Annedien, Tracey (and all the others who helped me get through my course),
I just wanted to thank you for your help and patience throughout the course.
It’s been far more enjoyable than I could have imagined and the range of topics covered is fantastic and will serve me well in the future. So thanks again, who knows, maybe I’ll be back some day to do another course.

Good overall. I saw your ad online and read many good reviews on your accounting course. Your course fee was also reasonable in comparison with other online courses.
Michelle Christie –
I found the Career Academy when I was looking for online accounting courses that would help me gain a qualification by building on the bookkeeping knowledge I already had. The Certificate in Bookkeeping caught my eye because it’s a short-term part-time course that would teach me what I needed to know & get me certified as a bookkeeper without having to study a heap of other topics I neither wanted nor needed. The price was fair & I loved that online study could be done from my own home, in my own time. I am now looking forward to starting my next course with the Career Academy & have already been recommending them to my workmates & friends!
Overall I would rate the Certificate in Bookkeeping as an excellent course. It was great to be able to study online at a time and pace that suited me. The text book was brilliant & the course material easy to follow. Help was available when I needed it. The assessments really helped the learning process and they were marked and returned quickly with constructive comments. A year of membership with the Bookkeeping Association is an added bonus & means I will have ongoing support.
Richard Teubes –
The course suits its purpose. Decided to study with The Career Academy as recommended by the Bookkeepers Association. The course was structured to really make you think, which was great!

I decided to study with The Career Academy as it seemed like a great online course that I could work around my lifestyle at a reasonable price and without needing qualifications. Excellent course.

Good course. I decided to study with The Career Academy because they are distance/online learning based with relevant short courses for today’s jobs.

I decided to study the Certificate in Bookkeeping with The Career Academy because it suited my situation, ie. I could do it from home, online and when it suited me either night or day. Excellent course.

A very well thought out and constructed course. Enjoyable and very beneficial. I decided to enrol with The Career Academy because I thought the advertised content of the course would be beneficial. I didn’t think it would be as good as it sounded but it was, I am delighted with the course.

Susan Callaghan –
I decided to study with The Career Academy because out of all the courses I looked at, this course offered me what I needed to know, and more. I spoke to an Accountant who also checked out the content and agreed.

Career Academy has the best payment plan which I could afford. Help was available when I needed it and the assessment instructions were clear and easy to follow
Linda Patterson –
I wanted a bookkeeping qualification and couldn’t find anywhere else that offered an online course for this so Career Academy was my only option.
Jacques Marais –
This is an excellent course. For me it was just a good refresher, as I have been working in accounting departments for 8 years now and studied prior to that. I think it will also be easy for someone with no accounting background to follow this course, as everything is well explained and good examples are used. Excellent course.
Brian Chen –
Referred by a friend. Average overall.
Jodie Martin –
I decided to study this course with The Career Academy to formalise my bookkeeping skills and to become a member of the Bookkeeping Association. This is promoted as something experienced bookkeepers can do as well as beginners. I think this is too easy for experienced bookkeepers and maybe you could offer this course for complete beginners and another for experienced bookkeepers which offers a higher qualification.
Jessica McVicar –
The course was very helpful. Best online course I have done. Tutors were great, fast replies and great support. Highly recommended.
Rebecca Poching –
Great course! The support and encouragement from the tutors was great. When investigating how to become a certified bookkeeper with the Bookkeeping Association website, I saw the link to The Career Academy. Thank you for the support and it was great to meet everyone at The Bookkeeping conference.

Judie James –
Excellent overall. Help was available when I needed it and the assessment instructions were clear and easy to follow. The course met my expectations.
Sam Mills –
I decided to study with The Career Academy because I wanted to get some more qualifications in case I wanted to look for another job. I sometimes struggled to understand certain sections and sometimes took me a few attempts to pass most of them. I find I pick up things better if I get them explained orally instead of reading the information.
Helen Schafer –
Decided to study with The Career Academy because it was recommended by Legacy Accountants combined with Google search rating. Very happy.
Lori Mahony –
I found the course overall very easy to learn and work my way through each module. I have no suggestions for improvements as everything worked well for me. Tutors were easy to get in touch with and would give back great feedback so I would know exactly where I was at with my learning. 4.5 stars!

Everything was great!
Cameron Thorpe –
I was looking for an online bookkeeping course and The Career Academy offered what I needed at a decent price and the feedback from others looked promising. There was a few topics that weren’t explained enough to easily do the assessments. however that could have also just been me not understanding the information properly (more of a hands on learner). Still excellent overall.
Michelle Morton –
It had a course that covered all the aspects I was looking for in one course. Good overall.

Overall I am very pleased with the entire course and the way the contents are explained and I am very grateful that I was given the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge of Bookkeeping thanks to The Career Academy.
Valerie Ott –
I thoroughly enjoyed working through the modules in this course. My tutor was available when I had any questions and was very supportive.The work itself was very current and I have been able to apply this knowledge to my new job, which I may not have got, without this valuable course of study. The option of studying online, any time of day, has meant that I have been able to continue with my other work and family commitments. I highly recommend the Certificate in Business Bookkeeping and The Career Academy.
