You might want to check your local Community College and see if they offer a Professional Bookkeeping Certificate vs obtaining the certificate online...reason why I say this is, that if you chose to educate yourself further (ie Accounting Certificate or obtaining your Associates in Applied Science in Accounting) it would benefit you in the pocket book in the long run. Some of the classes I saw in my local Community College for the Professional Bookkeeping Certification (http://www.lonestar.edu/5692/) are also listed under the Accounting Certificate and the Associate of applied science degree for Accounting. So you wouldn't have to retake those for the other certificates/degrees. Food for thought.

Bless!
