Bookkeeping, Sage and Accounting Courses
Choose bookkeeping principles or training in the software your organisation already uses. Bookkeeping Fundamentals, QuickBooks Online and Sage 50 address related work but are different courses.
Bookkeeping Fundamentals is an eight-hour course covering manual methods, double-entry accounting, ledgers, trial balances and reconciliation. QuickBooks Online Part 1 and Part 2 are listed as twelve hours each. The two Sage Accounting products are also twelve hours each, and their published syllabi specify Sage 50.
Check software edition, country settings and access to payroll or inventory features before choosing a course. Course completion is not a professional accounting designation, and software training does not replace advice about your organisation’s reporting obligations.

Accounting training questions
How do I choose a suitable course?
Compare the tasks in each outline with the work you need to do. Check starting skills and software versions, then contact us if you need help choosing a level.
Where can I see current dates and fees?
Each course links to its booking page. Choose a session there and review the time zone, delivery details, currency and final fee before registering.
Can our team arrange private training?
Yes. Contact us with your team size, current skills, software and the work you want to improve so we can discuss an appropriate training scope.
Identify the Sage product before selecting training
The public booking products are named Sage Accounting Part 1 and Part 2, and their descriptions explicitly identify Sage 50. That is more specific than the phrase Sage accounting, which buyers may use for different Sage products.
Find the product name and version in your installed application and include them in the enquiry. If your organisation uses a different Sage product, ask about suitable training rather than booking solely because the brand name matches.
