You might be the person left with the spreadsheet nobody else will touch. This package puts Excel and MYOB on one enrolment, formulas through to pay runs. Short, applied, and made for people already near the accounts desk.
Three Excel certificates, beginner to advanced. Lookups, pivot tables and macros, worked on the data you already get sent.
MYOB Business Essentials and MYOB Payroll, both. Contacts, bills, banking, reports, then setting up staff and paying them.
The honest outcome for most people is fewer errors and less rework. Peace of mind counts for a lot at that desk.
Every business with staff and suppliers needs someone who can drive the ledger and build the sheet. The work is easy to picture: the bills coded, the pay run out on time, the report the manager asked for by Thursday. Those jobs test exactly these skills.
The daily ledger work, kept accurate in MYOB.
Pay runs, payday filing and the reporting behind it.
Keeping the file, the contacts and the items clean.
Supporting the people who use the finance software.
The admin engine room of an accounting practice.
Catching the errors before they reach a report.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Analyst and manager titles usually want an accounting background as well as the software.
What makes this pairing worth doing together.
Spreadsheets and the ledger are what an accounts desk runs on. Learn them side by side.
MYOB Business Payroll covers employees, pay runs, payday filing and reporting.
Around 80 hours over six months of access. Most people are well through it before that.

The diplomas are accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, which is accreditation for professional development. They are not NZQA accredited, so they are not national qualifications. Those are different things. For software skills, employers test whether you can drive the file.
