Leni Snelgrove –
I searched for a course on Internet and it looked good It really wasnt about the price I really learnt a lot and now feel that what I have learnt I can apply really 4, I finally can relax and smile about this course Thank you!
Leni Snelgrove –
I saw very positive reviews on Career Academy and that inspired me to do an online course with this institution. In regards to doing modules on excel, word etc, it would be good if Career Academy could provide student access to these websites instead of the students going on free trial.For e.g. if a student is unable to finish his/her work within the one month free trial then he/she will have to pay for the office 365 afterwards. Therefore, if the students have a student login through career academy then it will be really helpful . Otherwise, overall, the course was good and the tutors were great.
Cindy Weir –
i really liked the course and what i have learnt has changed my thinking patterns. however, the instructions of the assignments were horrible. i had to ring up the tutor every week (every 2nd day) to ask them to re-word the questions. because of this i had to resubmit a lot of my assignments.
this, of course, has turned me off from studying as often as i use to (unfortunately)
however, some positive. the tutors are awesome, the help is there all the time. I am very thanking you. I am blessed to be able to find a course that helps me study as a parent at home.

I chose to study with The Career Academy as it is industry recognised and studying online suits my personal circumstances better than travelling somewhere to attend regular classes.
Jodie McGarvey –
I absolutely love the flexibility offered from The Career Academy. I was able to study in my own time, the course was user-friendly and all of the information was relevant and informative. You also have the option of either downloading or purchasing physical copies of the course materials. It also offers different aspects that cater to differing learning styles, such as videos and text. Awesome!

Jacqueline Lelievre –
I enjoyed the course content and found that I could complete the work without any assistance from a tutor while still being challenging and requiring time and attention to detail. I like the freedom it gives me, being able to study in my own time is what I enjoy most.
Hari Vemula –
The course is mostly just reading. I expected more videos or variety in the course, so it can be a bit boring. The information itself is good.
Michelle Walters –
I didn’t need to use the tutors for this course as I found it easy to complete on my own. I took this as well as the regular certificate course. I enjoyed the course overall and found the content quite interesting.
Kathryn Yee –
It’s a good course but I think it might be a bit beyond me. The assessments are rather difficult!
Trang Phan –
Going well – this course takes a bit more time because there is a lot of writing in the assessments. It can be challenging from time to time.
Helen Campbell –
The xero courses I took were brilliant, I put what I learned into use everyday with my job. The units and assignments were straightforward so I didn’t need much help at the time from the tutors.
Rishu Chhabra –
I’m happy to say that nothing was too difficult for me in this course, the best part was getting to learn something new.
Sandie Baker –
So far the course is going well. I am a little disappointed that there aren’t more quizzes as you finish each topic, to gauge how you are going. Exercises are all well and good, but you don’t really have anything to gauge yourself on.
Johanna Wright –
Had the course option and way I wanted to study. Also the reviews were good.
Samantha Brolsma –
My rating on the Tutor was neutral, only because I did not request any help from any Tutors.
However, when I requested help from the Career Academy on other queries they were always prompt in their responses, and willing to help, and were always helpful.
Asghar Hayat –
Overall course is so good. well organised for students. I am very excited to complete this course successfully.
when I was talking to different institute for accounting software certificate, i judged the career academy,s tutor and helping people are very good, polite behavior and I feel trustful in future if I face any problem in my course that why I choose this institute.
My prayers and best wishes will be for this academy and all staff. you are great for me. I love you all. Thanks
Alana Reyland –
This increased my general understanding of Accounting without spending too much money.
Tamaryn-Lee Davidson –
Was excellent. My only thought would be to not limit the assignment to 10 pages.
Stacie Crawford –
A friend was doing this course at the time so I decided to enroll. It would have been hepful to have more practical exercises to work through from start to finish so that you have a complete example to work through instead of partial bits of information. I understood the principles of the GST reconciliation but it would have been good to have more data within the exercise to work with.
A guideline of what you should be doing and when within Xero would be helpful
e.g rec bank accounts weekly
gst rec monthly
tasks you should be doing weekly, monthly, yearly etc
Richard Gaunt –
I will be able to use the knowledge that I’ve learnt at The Career Academy.
