As you probably already know, accounting and bookkeeping is a great field!

Opportunities exist in big companies, the government and small businesses. You can work full-time or part-time, and at times of the day that are best for you.

Before enrolling in your program, I was unable to obtain employment in the accounting field without experience, but your course has now allowed me to successfully change career fields. Often education does not translate into employment, but your course was the chief reason why I received this job offer. Kristie M.

I just wanted to touch base and let you know that I got a job as an Accounting Clerk/Bookkeeper. I was also offered a position as an Accounting Assistant, but turned it down as I already accepted the other position. So, when it rains it pours! I’ve been looking for a long time and I believe your class really gave me the edge over the other candidates. Barbara S.

Being laid-off was very tough and I knew I needed to get more education in accounting. This program was perfect for that! After the class, more opportunities opened up for me. I started getting more interviews and finally accepted an Accounts Payable and Receivable position. I am really excited about it! You made the class easy and fun. You are a great teacher. Michele H.

No Prior Knowledge or Experience Required

I just wanted to inform you that I was hired as a Full Charge Bookkeeper for a small manufacturing company. I know for certain that your Accounting /Bookkeeping class helped me land this job because on my first day the HR manager came to me and told me she was impressed with my education in Accounting/Bookkeeping. I was up against 3 other individuals for this challenging yet rewarding position. Crystal D.

I am working with two companies. Your classes covered everything I’ve been asked to do so far and the materials have been an invaluable reference. Your work gives people the tools to change their lives if they want! I’ve used your instruction to navigate a career transition in a very short time frame. Your instruction covered all the fundamentals with lots of real world observations to illustrate the points. I really enjoy the work and thank you for the excellent instruction you provided. Mercedes S.

I wanted to say thank you for the instruction I received. I appreciate your patience and how you simplified the procedures of accounting. You made it fun and easy to understand.

Online Support is Always Available

After owning my own business for 20 years, I had to sell it because of the financial recession. Lots of people told me at my age I would never be able to find another job. I was too old, my skills were outdated, nobody would ever hire me. You showed me that they were wrong. You taught me and the entire class that we can find jobs, and you were here to help us do just that. I am currently working with the State as a Revenue Examiner. Phyllis J.

Your classes helped me gain the understanding needed to adapt my five years of Russian Accounting Experience to America. I started a permanent accounting position with a CPA firm in Greenbelt, Maryland. My boss was quite impressed with my knowledge of Bookkeeping and Accounting as well as the U.S. IRS forms. For me it is amazing that I have only been in America for one year and have found a great job, if it had not been for your class I don’t think this would have been possible. Natalia P.

You are truly the greatest professor that I’ve ever known. I was unemployed, broke and unsure what I wanted to do with myself. I was blown away the first day I came to class. You had me very excited to grab the key of success and take control of my destiny. I went on my first interview. After that interview they called to say that they were very impressed with my skills and they wanted to hire me. Thank you very much you have changed my life. Quinitta O.

I am happy to report that my search for a job is over. I was hired for a full time position as an accounts payable associate. This is the highest wage I’ve ever been paid at any job. This is proof that with the right amount of persistence, good things can happen. You can only accomplish things be taking action. Not sitting by and waiting. Thanks again for all the knowledge you have given me. Gabriel D.
