I passed the Pro Advisor Online Certification thanks to your course. It's fantastic! Any idea when taking the Re-Certification test is required? I can't seem to find any info on it.

[@fasteasyqboproadvisorcerti6503]

Yay! Certification season is November-October. So you will need to recertify the spring following the October following when you got your certification. So this coming spring 2022, anyone who got their certification November 2020 through October 2021 will need to recertify. If you got your certification later than November 2021, you won't have to recertify until spring 2023. This can be confusing to think about, so let me know if you have additional questions.

Hi I'm so glad I found your channel. I just got certified in Intuit Bookkeeping through Coursera and I wanted to get certified in QBO as well. I used the link you provided however, they aren't accepting my zip code I live in Canada. I was wondering if you encounter this situation or one of your subcribers. Looking forward to hear from you

[@fasteasyqboproadvisorcerti6503]

I'm glad you have found the channel; however, I'm afraid I can't help you. I only work with the ProAdvisor program in the U.S. I recommend you reach out to Intuit directly to find out how to get access to the Canadian program.

You're welcome! I know it's a long video!

[@yaashlifestyle]

Hi! Very clear video, thank you for that. My question is, will all the questions in all the sections be MCQs or will there be other format questions like typing in answers or creating invoices or journal entries etc.?

[@fasteasyqboproadvisorcerti6503]

At the basic level, all the questions are multiple choice--some with radio buttons, so there is only one correct answer, some with checkboxes, so there are multiple answers, and some with drop-downs, with multiple drop-downs per question. At the advanced level, in addition to the above, there are a handful of questions that require you to do a math calculation and enter your result. There are no questions that record your keystrokes creating transactions, but you do have to know the keystrokes to get the different features. Use the Sample Company to test this (in a different browser or incognito window)--you do not have to have it memorized. HTH

[@fasteasyqboproadvisorcerti6503]

Unfortunately, no. However, the questions are chronological, so you can study a few modules and then try the test. If there is a question you haven't studied yet, just click Leave Exam and come back to it. There is no penalty for leaving and it does not count as one of your three tries. FYI, our courses are ordered by Section, so you study exactly what's on each test. www.fastandeasyqbo.com

They are tied to a specific QBOA account. Even if you work for a firm, you have to have your own QBOA account in order to get certified.

[@fasteasyqboproadvisorcerti6503]

You do not need any prior experience bookkeeping or accounting to take and pass the ProAdvisor exam. However, that does not mean you're ready to be a bookkeeper.
