Intuit has just announced a new training and certification program. Successful completion of QuickBooks certification exams gives you free, priority listing on the Find-a-ProAdvisor directory, expanded knowledge and mastery of the products, and a competitive edge. What has been added to Intuit's list of certifications?
Last month, Intuit Online Payroll Products customers were moved to QuickBooks Online Payroll. Intuit is now offering certification for the QuickBooks Online Payroll product. When you are ready to complete the certification, simply log in to QBO.
To prepare for the exam, Intuit has created two training courses.
These courses will prepare you for the exam subjects which will cover both product and compliance knowledge.
