Yes. The course videos can be watched over and over again as often as you want. The workbooks are available as a downloaded pdf file so you can print it and go over it as often as you want.

3 Are their any prerequisites

It is expected that you have a PC with Internet access and that you are confident using a mouse, downloading, launching programs and navigating around your computer (Windows OR Mac). Although you’ll get through the course faster if you have an understanding of basic accounting / bookkeeping terminology the course includes training videos to teach you these things.

4 When can I start?

After you have completed the online enrolment form and made your payment you will receive an enrolment confirmation email confirming your enrolment and providing you with passwords to access your course. This will arrive by 5pm the next business day but often arrives the same day.

6 Do I get a certificate?

If you choose the certificate option when you enrol, you will receive a certificate after you have successfully completed the online assessment questions and complete a course evaluation. If you did not choose a certificate option when you enrolled you can still answer the knowledge review questions and apply for an assessment and certificate.

Back to MYOB Training Courses Summary

7 How does assessment work?

The assessment questions are located at the end of each section or at the end of each course and comprise a series of questions which may include YES/NO, multiple choice, multiple answer or matching questions. When you submit your answers (you get 3 attempts) your answers are recorded in your student profile. When you have completed them you let us know and an assessor will confirm that you passed each test and provide you with a certificate. All knowledge reviews must be completed within 12 months of enrolling. If you did not enrol for the certificate option but would like to take advantage of it you can complete all knowledge reviews and pay for your certificate at the time of your MYOB course completion.

8 How do I get my certificate?

Your certificate is sent to you as a full colour PDF attachment via the student support area.

9 What type of certificate do I receive?

The default certificate is an EzyLearn certificate of completion that confirms you have accessed the course and successfully completed the knowledge reviews. It contains a logo of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers so you can put it in your resume to display the fact that you are a committed learner and part of an organisation devoted to continuing education.

10 Can I get a nationally recognised certificate?

The EzyLearn training material provides training on many aspects that are relevant to bookkeeping and Ezylearn is aligning its training materials with nationally recognised qualifications. The certificate you receive is an EzyLearn Certificate of Completion.

To get a nationally recognised certificate you need to enrol into a bookkeeping course with a registered training organisation (RTO) – EzyLearn is not an RTO.

11 What if I have a problem using the online course

EzyLearn support uses a ticketing system to keep track of problems you have or tasks that need to be performed for you (like assessment checking for your certificate). Students can access this online support for any questions they have regarding the course.

Back to MYOB Training Courses Summary

12 What if I have problems getting started with online learning?

You are welcome to contact EzyLearn over the phone with help in navigating the learning site – although the welcome email contains all the information as well as a video about how to use the online learning site.

13 What’s included in the course?

This link on the website shows a list of each course, choose which course you’d like to explore further and a full list of the video within the course is listed (including name and duration). There are also knowledge reviews and workbooks which contain even more training materials, exercises and examples.

You’ll be thrilled to know that the student support options give you the opportunity to pose a question of the Tutor and BAS agent of a scenario that may not be covered in the course material. The support team will then answer that question if its simple or write up some additional course notes. The course grows in size and content every quarter.

14 Do I need the software?

You don’t need the software to watch the videos and test your skill level will the knowledge reviews. We always recommend you download the software (it is available for free via a link at our online learning site).

15 How long does the course take?

Our online MYOB training course includes 5 courses for the price you’d expect to pay for one course (It includes MYOB Setup, Day-to-Day Transactions, Reporting & BAS and MYOB Payroll Intro) and the contents of the course is what we used to cover in approximately 4 full time days of training. You can of course choose the training package that contains just the number of courses you want. The Microsoft Excel course includes beginners to Advanced and if you start from scratch there is the equivalent class-based content of 4 full days of training.

19 Which version of the software do you use?

MYOB AccountRight Plus

MYOB made a significant change in their software in 2011 because it is built on a totally different programming language. As a result the software works differently and looks differently so separate courses are available for these new versions. When navigation changes significantly we create new content and make it (along with the existing content) available to students.

Our MYOB courses are updated regularly and the most recently updated course content based on the MYOB AccountRight 2018.2 version.

The MYOB training courses like all of our courses are regularly being updated when there is a significant change in the content or navigation around the software and as a student you receive access to this new content during your course access period.

Have an older version of the MYOB software? We keep the older versions of our courses as archived courses so students can refer to those MYOB courses if they need to. These earlier MYOB AccountRight training courses use training materials from version 15 to 19 as well as the current versions which are built on the new Microsoft .NET programming language. We use several different versions of MYOB Accounting and AccountRight Plus in versions 15 to 19 because navigation is virtually identical and mainly the graphics have changed.

Learn more about our MYOB Training Course Updates and Additions Policy.

The MYOB training courses use the MYOB AccountRight Plus (previously called MYOB Accounting Plus) because it includes all aspects of what you can do with the software, including Inventory and Payroll.

MYOB Essentials

Our MYOB Essentials Training Courses have been updated using content from March 2018. MYOB Essentials competes against Xero and Intuit QuickBooks Online in the cloud accounting software category because you can log into via an Internet Browser program as opposed to downloading and installing the software.

20 What if I have a Mac?

We use the Windows version but have many students who have used the Mac equivalent which is MYOB AccountEdge Basic and AccountEdge Pro. If you’re confident enough in your computer skills you’ll find that much of the content can translate between versions but if you find it too different you’ll be glad to know that that’s one of the reasons we have a 30 day money back guarantee!

Software designers like MYOB and Microsoft create software for multiple platforms so that they can service the needs of as many business as possible. Although there are subtle differences between the versions on different platforms we have had many students complete the course using a MAC version. If you are not sure, take advantage of the money back guarantee and see for yourself.

Some of our earliest versions use Flash videos which may not be viewable on the latest iPad devices, but all new content is created in a format that is viewable on all platforms.

21What if I am based in New Zealand or another country?

Our MYOB training is focused on the Australian version and include information about the GST, BAS and payroll for Australia, but students from Hong Kong, Canada, UK and New Zealand have completed the course? Microsoft Excel training can be used in any country.

Back to MYOB Training Courses Summary

22 Can I buy the MYOB software from you?

No – we no longer sell it. Although we can supply the software to you we are in the training and workplace services industry and would not be competitive in pricing with the large retail discounters like Harvey Norman, Dick Smith Electronics or online comparison sites like Get Price and MyShopping.

23 Do you offer volume discounts?

If your organisation wants to purchase enrolments in volume we have a number of enrolment options available. Please contact us for more information.

24 Can I offer your courses to my clients?

If you are an education provider, accountant or bookkeeper or involved in retraining to help get people back into the workforce we have a number of special partner packages. You can even partner with us to sell our online training courses if you like what you see. Please contact us for more information about becoming a training partner.

If you are an accountant or a training organisation that delivers an accounting qualification from Cert III and up you may be interested in our MYOB Course Enrolment Vouchers.

25 Do you have courses for other accounting software?

Yes, we do. Because we have a fantastic course that takes students logically through the entire bookkeeping process for a small business we can adapt it to suit other accounting software programs. There are also an increasing number of cloud based accounting software programs and many of them are competing head-to-head with MYOB and doing very well.

We are the official education provider for Reach Accounting. Reach is an accounting program from NetRegistry and although it is a small and simple accounting program we are excited to be the preferred training company for them. They’re also an Australian owned and built company and we like that. Learn more about the Reach Accounting Training Course.

Xero is a very popular cloud based accounting software program and boasts Craig Winkler as one of it’s major shareholders. Craig is the man that started MYOB in Australia and built it into an international company before selling out to a private equity company (Archer Capital, which them sold it to another private equity company Bain Capital) and this company had the luxury of starting off as an online, cloud-based accounting software.

26 Can you help me start a business?

Yes. In 2012 we became the online training platform for the Small Business Management Course from the Australian Small Business Centre. This course goes through all the areas required to create a business plan which becomes a blue print of how to run a business – any business. We then had our own team go through this course and complete it based on the following business types: Virtual Assistant and Bookkeeping Business.

When you do the Small Business Management Course with us you get the opportunity to work with people who are doing what you want to do and they’ll support you to help you succeed in that business. Read more about our Small Business Management Course..

27 Can I earn CPD (CPE) points with your courses?

Yes. If you are a certified bookkeeper with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) you can earn 1 point for every hour of education. All 5 MYOB courses can be completed in a normal classroom environment in 4 days which equates to 32 hours or 32 points. You will need to enrol into the Certificate option to provide evidence of completion.

If you are a member of a different industry association and would like us to enquire on your behalf please contact us.

28 Do you offer interest free finance for MYOB Training Course enrolments?

Instead of offering interest free finance and student loans we prefer to offer courses which include a lot of content from beginners to advanced skills included and a long time to complete the course if you need it. Whether interest free students loans are promoted as free or cheap they are designed as a sales and marketing tool to make course appear more attractive. Course loan systems need to be established to manage student loan repayments and many students already have a credit card or other loan facility that they can use to pay for MYOB training courses – the most popular of course is a credit card – so we’d prefer to focus on cheap training courses and special offers on MYOB Training Courses that make them even more attractive.
