QuickBooks Courses
QuickBooks Online Part 1 and Part 2, $619 each, in separate Canadian and US runs — because the sales tax and payroll are the part that differs.
QuickBooks Online is the package most small businesses land on, usually because the accountant recommended it. It is also the package most people learn from a video made for the other country’s tax system, which is fine right up until the first filing. That is why these run as separate Canadian and US courses rather than one course with a caveat.
Part 1 ($619) covers setting the file up correctly and the daily work: the chart of accounts, customers and suppliers, invoicing, expenses, bank feeds and sales tax. Getting the setup right is disproportionately valuable — most of the messes we see in Part 2 trace back to a chart of accounts or a tax code decided in the first week.
Part 2 ($619) is the period-end half: bank and credit-card reconciliation, adjusting entries, payroll, GST/HST filing, and producing the reports your accountant actually asks for. It assumes Part 1, whether or not you took it here.
Both are live instructor-led classes capped at 10, in person or remotely. Each carries the same one-year free retake as the rest of the catalog — which people commonly use to come back at their first year-end, when the questions are different and considerably more pointed.

Where each course sits
Part 1 then Part 2. Bookkeeping Fundamentals first if the accounting itself is new.

If you are not sure which of these you are ready for, the skill assessment asks eight questions about what you already do and recommends one. It takes about five minutes and asks for nothing in return.

QuickBooks training questions
Do you teach QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online?
The public courses are QuickBooks Online, which is where Intuit has moved Canadian small business. Our instructors teach Desktop as well, so if your business is still on Desktop, ask about corporate or one-to-one delivery.
Is there free QuickBooks training?
Our getting-started guide is free and ungated, and covers setting up a Canadian company file properly. It is genuinely useful on its own; it is not a substitute for the course, and it says so where the difference matters.
Does this cover GST and HST?
Yes — sales tax setup in Part 1 and filing in Part 2. The Canadian runs handle GST, HST and PST including provincial variation; the US runs handle US sales tax. Booking the wrong one is the single most common reason a QuickBooks file has to be redone, so check which run you are registering for.
Does it cover payroll?
Payroll is covered in Part 2 — the CRA remittance cycle on the Canadian runs, US payroll on the US runs. If payroll is the main reason you are booking, say so when you register: it affects which run is the better fit.
Do you teach the US or the Canadian version?
Both, as separate courses. The Canadian runs cover GST, HST, PST, provincial payroll and the CRA remittance cycle; the US runs cover US sales tax and payroll. Everything else — the software itself, the workflow, the reports — is the same. Check which run you are booking on the live schedule, because this is the one difference that matters and it is not obvious from the course name.
How much does the QuickBooks course cost?
Part 1 and Part 2 are $619 each. Confirm current pricing and dates on the live schedule before you register, since the booking system is the authoritative source.
How big are the classes?
Public classes are capped at 10 participants. That cap is the reason the instructor can work with your file rather than only the sample file, and it is deliberate rather than a scheduling accident.
Is remote training the same course as in person?
The same course, the same instructor and the same exercise files. For remote delivery we use software that lets the instructor see every participant’s screen, so when you get stuck the instructor sees it rather than waiting for you to describe it.
