With MYOB courses, students are taken through the correct procedures for data entry and handling financial transactions and this knowledge can be transferred to the workplace.
If you have employed someone who hasn’t gone through this training you might find that they are not using best practice with your accounting.
Daily transactions make up the bulk of data entry tasks for most small business owners so getting this process right is critical for so many reasons.

How long does a MYOB course take?
One of the advantages of online MYOB courses is the flexibility to study at your own pace. Course durations can vary, ranging from 8 hours for a basic overview, to 70 hours for a comprehensive program.
If you want to complete a Nationally Accredited Course to progress to a Registered BAS Agent your course could be several hundred hours.

You can see all the different MYOB courses, including the course contents and duration at our MYOB Course Catalogue website.
MYOB certification to learn practical skills is not free
Typically, MYOB training programs come at a cost, as they involve experienced instructors and comprehensive course materials. The FREE certification offered by MYOB (and Xero) are designed to help you understand enough about what MYOB can do so you can “promote” the benefits to other people – this helps them sell more subscriptions.
If you are looking for a comprehensive course and certification that will give you the confidence to actually use the software for many different types of businesses and situations you will want a professionally designed course and practical case studies.
The price of training varies and course fees typically range between $200 and $2000. It’s important to do your homework and find a course that fits your budget and meets your needs.
If your budget is tight you may want to enrol into each of the MYOB courses separately.
