Just follow-the-numbers:
Step through QuickBooks Accounting & Job-Cost Training (in Sequence) by Topic
Becoming an expert with software and accounting begins by walking through a series of “building block” learning steps – so the entire workshop series has been sequentially numbered. You can therefore follow-the-numbers through a logical, progressive sequence that will help you build your expertise, step-by-step-by-step. Within each topic area you can move from the basic classes to the more advanced classes (i.e., from Level 1 to Level 2).
Note: If there’s a special topic that you want to view immediately, you can go straight to that specific workshop. If you find that the class refers to underlying elements that you’ve skipped over, you may need to go back and fill in the missing classes. We don’t encourage skipping ahead as a regular practice because the seminars are designed to build upon each other …
or Choose a Workshop Level Based on Your Needs & Experience:
Levels have also been added to help indicate experience, needs, and/or level of responsibility. For example, if you really want to get a basic job-cost system in place as quickly as possible, you could start with the Basic Accounting & Job Costing (Level 1) seminars, and then proceed into the Advanced Accounting & Job-Costing (Level 2) workshops.
Level 3 workshops are useful for everyone, but are of special interest to business owners and managers as they focus primarily on higher-level business, financial management, and profit-building concepts.
