The course was thorough, well presented and delivered in a friendly and informal manner. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone wanting to learn about Xero!
(5.00 out of 5) Jaclyn J [ 18 April, 2017 ]
Strongly recommend this course for all those wanting to refresh on their Xero training or those new to Xero. I will be looking into doing the payroll course and if there is more on inventory.

Samantha was wonderful. She gave clear and informed instruction and was available to each class member to answer questions and issues. She made sure we were all up to date and on track with the course, as well as being a friendly, kind and easygoing instructor. I learnt a great deal.

A fantastic course giving great insight into the "guts" of Xero. Shanyn showed her real world experience with the system by providing background tips that I'm sure I will continue to use in my work experience.
