QuickBooks Certified User Program *FREE

[Rebecka Melson]

I saw this forum topic and thought I would make a recommendation for a class. It's the QuickBooks Certified User Program, it is currently a beta program and free for a limited time. I have used QB for over 10 years and would consider myself a Pro but I learned several tricks and shortcuts which I have now implemented into my bookkeeping.

I highly recommend taking this class before they start charging for it. Even if your not a bookkeeper, but you use QB to do your own bookkeeping. Everyone can use this program.

Wow, Rebecka this looks amazing - and I'll definitely be signing up for this right *now*.

I'm just going to copy and paste a bit of info from their page about the process, for anyone else who is interested:

I've got to buy a copy of the software before I can sign up...but am definitely on it as well.

Hey Tess, If you haven't purchased QB Pro yet you can get it through my website for $169.95 plus free shipping, or you can get it via download. I am now a licensed QB affiliate so I can legally sell it and I get special affiliate rates.

I didn't mention it before, because I've been waiting to get approved. You can get the link on my website on the "Best FREE Software" page.

I'm so excited, I LOVE QuickBooks and am so happy that I can now sell my favorite product and at a discount to boot!

Thanks Rebecka, this looks great! I've realized I'll likely need the disc anyway as our connection here is a bit sad when it comes to major downloads...(I am SO looking forward to a proper connection!!)

I've signed up for this course as well.

Thanks!

Hi, Everyone,
If you're still interested in the QuickBooks Certified User Program, they have extended their "free" offer. It doesn't say when it is extended until, but I just signed up today.
I might as well get certified in something that I've been using for the past five years.
Thanks for the tip!

Good to know, thanks so much Michelle - I was wondering if it would still be available...
