Student Testimonial:

"Having successfully completed financial accounting courses in my Business Administration program, I did not feel that the Basic Bookkeeping course would cover any new topics I did not already know, but I was wrong. This is a great refresher course or foundation course for anyone wanting to enter into this field. The online learning environment allows you to work at your own pace, the website is easy to navigate, and the online support is quick to respond and effective. I can’t wait to dive into the second of my six courses required for my bookkeeping designation. Thank you for your call today, and support, it was very nice to be acknowledged for my accomplishments. Not only is the Knowledge Bureau a great learning institute, but also a top-notch service provider, the staff go out of their way." - Dawn S., BC
