The bookkeeping course was fine. Employers don't recognize the certificate.
The lessons were clear and the software practice matched work I had already seen in a small office. I finished the certificate on the schedule they advertised.
Three employers I interviewed with said they do not treat this certificate as a credential. Two wanted a college diploma or equivalent experience. One had never heard of the program.
The course was fine as practice. The surprise was the certificate. Check the wording in job postings in your city before paying.

Join the conversationI finished the same certificate. Two bookkeeping postings I applied to asked for a college diploma. Neither mentioned this program. The software practice was still useful on the job I already had.
The lessons are clear. The certificate is the part employers in Toronto didn't recognize when I put it on applications last year.
