How does assessment work?

- YES/NO,
- multiple choice,
- multiple answer or
- matching questions.
When you submit your answers (you get 3 attempts) your answers are recorded in your student profile. When you have completed them you let us know and an assessor will confirm that you passed each test and provide you with a certificate.

How do I get my certificate?
Your certificate is sent to you as a full colour PDF attachment via the student support area.
What type of certificate do I receive?
The default certificate is an Certificate of Completion that confirms you have accessed the course and successfully completed the knowledge reviews. It contains a logo of National Bookkeeping so you can put it in your resume to display the fact that you are a committed learner and part of an organisation devoted to continuing education.
Can I get a nationally recognised certificate?
The training material provides training on many aspects that are relevant to bookkeeping in small businesses.
Although the training material covers many topics in the Cert IV in Bookkeeping we don’t offer that full qualification – we offer an economical way to master MYOB & Xero accounting software from a course that is created by Tertiary and Industry Accredited teachers, including a Registered BAS Agent (the official title of a registered bookkeeper).
To get a nationally recognised certificate you need to enrol into a bookkeeping course with a registered training organisation (RTO) – this is a career pathway option.

Assignments and industry research are available as part of Bookkeeping Industry Connect.
