Course Description:

'' The Accounting and Bookkeeping Course is comprised of 13 comprehensive lessons. They are easy to follow, yet challenging and stimulating at the same time. Each lesson begins with a subject matter preview and objectives, an introductory note from your instructor and a vocabulary builder of new words and terms.

Next comes the reading assignment and hands-on tutorial training using the Peachtree® Complete Accounting accounting software on CD-ROM that we supply. Practice exercises help you check and review what you’ve learned. At the end of the lesson is an open-book exam, which you may take online.
