"It was great to go through things step by step and have the dedicated time to spend learning about accounting. I would not have taken this time on my own to learn the finer details and I enjoyed the teaching environment."
"The hands-on approach and the ability to go back and watch the webinars in my own time."
"In-depth information and then homework to back up the learning in class really cemented the knowledge."
