Helen Thomas –
Ease of online system, being able to do it at home and in my own time. The time it takes to grade assessments. Eager to get course completed and I feel like I lose momentum while my work is being assessed
Zhishu Pan –
The whole process, from enrollment to starting course, is very easy and convenient through online. If there is more of real examples being included on the course, it would be better for students to understand how the course works in reality and easy for us adapt to the working environment.

Donna Anderson –
I was not on course for a long period and yet no one chased me up to find out what was happening . There seems to be a void with not much care. I felt like I was on my own and yet I paid for this course and I am still paying? I felt I needed this information for my business I would like more help even if it is just to find out how I am going and if I need any thing just a little interest.
Marihi Langford –
Needed to upskill to use the software to its max
Jennifer Mowett –
You offered a self paced course in Xero I use Xero day to day for our Company and as a book keeper for clients.
I needed to know more on complex items or when things go wrong how to trouble shoot

Terri Fazakerley –
Instructions throughout the course on where to go, I found the layout quite hard to navigate and took a bit to get used to
Cindy Weir –
I chose to study with the career academy because It was recommended to me by Xero support staff.Great course and really enjoy the flexibility of being able to do it online at my own pace. Improvement: I would have liked to have more questions in the Quiz at the end of each section
Greg Wyatt –
To improve overall knowledge and the ability to do this from home. Very good course.
Renee Cailes –
Not updated to reflect information included in demo model told to sign up for which made some aspects slightly confusing.
Hannee Mae Cabacungan –
I chose to study with The Career Academy because I read that it offers a wide range of courses. This is such a great help on my part to be familiar with Xero Payroll as I seek job employment.
Donna Hughes –
The Demo File should have been working for the 3 exercises (sorry cant recall which ones now) and because they werent, I got a bit lost when it came to complete the next assessment as the data wasnt in the Demo file. This needs fixing asap. I could not practice without setting up employee info in the trial file. I disregarded the exercises anyway and attempted the quiz and passed first attempt so all good.
Kim Angela Rennie –
The Career Academy is recommended for great training in association with Xero. I am looking to run a book keeping business and this is ticking all the boxes in my learning journey.
Harshad Bandekar –
The best course contents for xero More of Video Tutorials
Subhra Paul –
I chose to study with the career academy because i didn’t know anyone then who is offering Diploma Program in Xero – If you have demonstration video representation, would be helpful for the student like me, just new in a Xero
Christelle Clarke –
I would like to see more exercises to complete. And sometimes the questions in the assignments were not clear enough.
Siddharth Chopra –
The content structure could be improved. It jumped from sections within the payroll module, needs to be step by step. Offer a comprehensive learning experience and a recognised/accredited Diploma in Xero.
Tanya Weiske –
I have done another course with them and found it was easy to complete and there was help if you get stuck or dont quite understand. It was so easy to use that I did not need to use the tutor or need help. I still have one more course to go, which I am enjoying
Sarah Lewis –
It felt very much like a step by step instruction with little to know background information on why things need to be done in a certain way. For example it touches on the Lump Sum items in the payment summary section but doesn't explain what each one is. Even if it wasnt explained but a reference to the ATO website or similar was provided. Im a new user to Xero and the course was recommended by TAFE

Susan Davy –
I chose the career academy because I can do it online in my own time. As xero payroll was new to me I probably needed to practise a few more actual scenarios.

Kylie Toth –
The whole final assessment being multiple choice. Many of the answers are confusing and not clearing covered in the course material. Misinterpreting a few answers could mean failing the multiple choice assessment and the course. Yet you understood the modules of the course and are competently using Xero Payroll. Maybe some of the assessment should be practical rather than just multiple choice.
Swati Bhoir –
I chose to study with the career academy because i wish ti start my carrier in accountancy, the exercises should me more so we can gain more confidence.
Izanne Loxton –
I did a bookkeepping course last year, Maybe offer a printed version of the course material im a bit old school like that 🙂 I did see the download / print option on the left side but the setup was funny and some of the info was cut off when I printed. I was looking for payroll a bit more in depth without it being a masters. Xero is easy to use
Terri Fazakerley –
I chose to study with the career academy because it is the only place to do xero – Improvement: Instructions throughout the course on where to go, I found the layout quite hard to navigate and took a bit to get used to
Tracey Bull –
I could not fault any aspects within this course, easy to follow and understand. It was something that happened to pop up on a news feed on my facebook and I looked further into it and was excited to gain a qualification in XERO as I currently utilise this package at my place of work.
Kathryn Fairbairn –
Career Academy offered the best value for money and the best combinations to get up-skilled in several different aspects of Payroll.
Mary Hollis –
At first I was nervous to start the course but once I got into it, it was easy, well easy as easy can be considering I did not know the system well. The Tutors were very helpful and always offering to help.
Sheree Taylor –
It has the course material I wanted to do, the time I wanted to do it in and DD option.
Viv Cavuoto –
Fantastic, step by step with all the finer details that make life easier when using Xero covered.
Martine Hawkins –
Great information online and the tutors were very on to it in getting back to me when I requested the info on the course.
Lori Mahony –
I have studied with you a few times now and it is my preferred way of learning and I know that help is always available.
Vicky Hartley –
A little more information regarding how to balance the ledger with payment summaries if they don’t match up would be helpful.
Mari Meyer –
It was convenient studying from home @ my own rate. Thank you.
Tricina McGregor –
You are able to study from home and you are able to pay off your course with the small weekly payments. The courses that you have on offer were exaclty what I wanted to study. I will definitley finish my other 2 courses and sign up again.
Gursimar Wadhwa –
The tutors were really helpful and would always answer my email queries. The information provided was very up-to-date and the modules were easy to understand. The course materials were written according to the final exam at the end.
Nerissa Guthrie –
The best thing about the Career Academy is that the course is all online.
Chelzie Te Hokimate Teresa Mischewski –
I can study from home and still be able to work parttime 🙂
Carol Raynes –
Ease of online learning The leave information could be a little clearer. The difference between Holiday pay and Annual leave needs to be more detailed. Maybe an example of entering an existing employee. When I moved the last company I worked with from pen and paper payroll to Xero I found this hard to get correct.
Miho Maeda –
The Xero course was very organized and easy. I found it so useful!
Homa Yerrabapu –
Really good course, very easy to do by myself so I didn’t need to talk to the tutors much. They were fast to provide feedback on the assessments I submitted.
Marican Mina –
Courses are well structured and easy to follow. The Career Academy is great online school to study with. It fits in perfectly with my interests and my career plan. With a little background in Accounting this course has challenged and motivated me to up skill. The course content is well presented and relevant. I have learned a lot from this course. Tutors are very helpful and always there to assist. Awesome team!
Thanks a lot.
Ezaan Cloete –
Excellent course content – maybe some videos about the calendars would be good (less reading and more watching and taking our own notes).
Ngahuia Hawke –
Having your own xero software would be ideal. This was a well organised system to be able to complete courses remotely.
Ngahuia Hawke –
Overall excellent course. Chose to study with The Career Academy as it seemed like a well organised system to be able to complete courses remotely.
Trang Phan –
The tutors helped to answer a few of my questions but I was able to work through most of it on my own. Relatively easy content.
Joanna Brunton –
I went back and reset and redid previous exercises several times, but not all of the options in the drop down boxes were available, especially when setting up a pay run and the annual leave question. This made it difficult to do the exercises further on. The information given was easy to understand and so I still managed to use this to pass the final assessment.
Trang Phan –
Good course!
Katrina Hunt –
The course was great and I found the support from the tutors was amazing.
Lyn Robertson –
I chose to study with The Career Academy because of the flexibility to complete the material. But most of all – being able to target the learning I wanted without having to do a degree or diploma that included papers/material I did not want or need to do. Overall- great! I am looking forward to starting my next course (already enrolled!)
Ngahuia Hawke –
I’ve done a few of the units so far and they’re pretty interesting – so far so good.
Jackie Cooke –
Lovely, the new information has been good in my line of work. I’ve enjoyed incorporating what I’ve learned into my business.
Liang Chun Chen –
Course is going good, really enjoying it. Finding it to be not too difficult.
Val Brooking –
You can study at your own pace, help is only an email away, and it’s very affordable. I enjoyed doing my three courses with the Career Academy!
Sophia Lemafa –
I haven’t yet spoken to any tutors but the course itself is simple to understand very helpful as well.
Robyn Park –
All good. I was enrolled for another course for my work and thought I would upskill with this one as well.
Atareta McNab –
Chose The Career Academy to get Xero training. Clarity of grading and how grading is presented in each module tab, I found this quite confusing.
Paulette Steed –
The business I work for has changed to Xero, and the Office Manager wont teach me or let me learn this yet, and if she is the only one knowing Xero and something happens to her we are in the cr*p so I looked it up and found The Career Academy teachers it, and thought Ill learn it for myself. Highlighting key points maybe, even though these are explained clearly and when you sit the assessment and want to change your answer its locked and you cannot undo your first choice, when you know you are wrong. But basically I think its really good so far.
Gayle Richardson –
Provided everything I needed in terms of learning flexibility, study support and affordability with payment options was a big plus. would highly recommend this course of study. Tutor support has been excellent when needed. Only other comment is that as new to electronic payroll systems of any kind the course material in part was light on but also an upside as it encouraged me to research and look further.
Ezrie Rahmat –
I received the help i needed, when i needed it.
Ann Michelle –
It was the best option available for my situation and my age ….never too old to learn.
Richard Booker –
Excellent
Teresa Holding –
Very quick response and good answer.
Matthew Slade –

I had no problems with the course.
Ali Salih –
I liked this because it was all online.
Thank you.
Harshpreet Singh –
I went with this course because I wanted to study at home and I need a certificate.
Parisha Kiran –
This course definitely met my expectations
Lesley Ralston –
I chose this course because it was recommended by Xero. It was a good course.. There are a few spelling errors that perhaps should be looked at in the course content pages.
Lesley Challen –
I am yet to get back to the exercise I had the question about. However, my tutor’s response was very quick and I am sure the fix she has outlined will solve my problem.
Lesley
Tony Far –
I found the Career Academy through searching on the internet and after reading some reviews and speaking with them over the phone decided this was a good option. One thing I think would possibly be an improvement is having the videos incorporated into the modules like in the previous course (certificate in Xero). After the last module there was a link to all the payroll videos. I think it would have made more sense to have these videos split into each of the modules.
Michaela Cairns –
Studying with The Career Academy seemed to be a good option for someone like me who is fitting study in around the rest of my life.. its great being able to do it all online and in my own time with the option to get in touch with the tutors if i needed to. This course was a bit more challenging for me – I work with Xero daily so the first part was very familiar to me whereas we don’t use Xero Payroll yet so it was all very new. However, doing this course & seeing how good the payroll system is definitely making us think about how Xero Payroll could work for us…
Samuel Hwang –
I chose The Career Academy to learn new knowledge that would be relevant in the workplace.
Joshua Oakes –

Setphanie McCamley –

Lauren Rangvanu –
This was great for me because I could do it at the same time as having a full time job.
Imrose Rana –
I chose to go with The Career Academy because I was told from my friend “It’s the best” – She completed her diploma in Xero. I think the course could be improved if there were more videos.
Melanie Kind –
Excellent! Great course
Natalie Croad –
Excellent
Matire Seath –
I find the demo a bit confusing at times – there were thing that should have been there from the previous course, but then it wasn’t which made it ma bit difficult to complete. But overall I really enjoy this style of learning.
I decided to study with the career academy as I did an internet search and then talk to a couple of people about it.
Mark Dimitroviski –
Excellent
Sharron Ciranni –
Nothing could be improved – Was happy with the course content and time allowed for completion. Career academy had a combined course for Xero which was both the accounting and payroll modules at a reasonable price.
Fiona Learmonth –
Good, I felt that more exercises could have been applied. An exercise of the things that we have covered & the questions in the final assessment would be good. Otherwise all good thank you.
Kate Ward-Smith –
Was offered to my by my boss since then i have looked at your website and found the next course i would like to do

I was struggling with using Xero at work, not having used it at all before March 2016 so a work colleague did an online search and emailed me a link to your site. I read the course material and it suited what I needed to learn for work.
Megan Besley –
My colleagues have used this and recommended it, also it is great to be able to study in my own time.
Feu Janen Mary Anne Livapulu –
Nothing could be improved. This was very helpful and explanatory in every way I needed. I chose to study with Career Academy because I could still work a full time job during the week and ready notes on the course subject I had picked to study. The only time I have free is Mondays’ every week to do Xero payroll and invoicing out to customers. Easy payment options also and easy to fit into busy day life 🙂 I thank you so much and am going to study further.
Paola Kingsley –
This course is excellent overall

Good overall.
Diane Christie –
Thanks… Appreciated being able to train online! Initially rang a Xero training provider and wasn’t impressed with their initial knowledge. So went online in search of somewhere/somehow to complete training. I started to complete your online application, then got sidetracked.. A phone call came through from your staff within approx. half an hour, so I completed the process… and now I’ve finished… Yay!
I am using Xero, a client has just added Xero Payroll and I needed to know how to correctly process Payroll in Xero. I am already experienced in IMS and ACE payroll programs
Lesley Ralston –
Well. Super happy about the result. Wasn’t expecting to do so well so thanks so much and for the advice.
Mary Ann Canon –
I am working full time and I cannot attend classroom discussions so having online courses is more convenient for me.
