Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Stop Being Tied to One System

Businesses split between Xero and MYOB. Knowing both means you fit whichever file lands in front of you.

Understand the Entries

Not only where to click, but what an entry means. That is what stops the errors and the rework.

Handle the Common Jobs Alone

Invoices, bills, reconciliation, payroll and reports. Done without checking over your shoulder each time.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Accounts support is steady work, and the people who last in it are the ones who can drive whatever system the firm bought. The day is easy to picture: bills in and coded, invoices out, the bank matched, the pay run away on time. Knowing both platforms widens the pool of jobs you can take.

Senior Bookkeeper (Xero/MYOB)

The whole ledger, on either platform.

Practice Support Coordinator

Client files inside an accounting practice.

Finance Operations Coordinator

Keeping the day to day accounts work moving.

Cloud Accounting Advisor

Helping a business get set up and stay tidy.

Dual-Platform Finance Specialist

The one who can pick up either system cold.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. The college itself frames this package as strengthening skills rather than changing careers.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need experience with either platform?

No. No prerequisites are listed, and no accounting or bookkeeping background is assumed. You do not need to be good at maths.

What does it cost each week?

From $29 a week on a plan, with no deposit and no credit check. Upfront is available. Enquire for the current figures.

How long does it take?

Around 80 hours of content, with six months of access. Fully self paced, so you set the speed.

Why learn both rather than pick one?

Because employers do not agree on which to use. Knowing both means a job ad naming either system is still open to you.

Do I get the software to practise in?

Six months of MYOB access is included through the education partnership. Xero work is done through the course platform.

Is there a work placement?

No placement is included. The practical work is the software itself, applied through the course tasks.

Is this course accredited?

Both diplomas are accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, which is accreditation for professional development. Neither is NZQA accredited, so they are not national qualifications. Those are different things. On the software side, what counts is whether you can run the file.

What if I change my mind?

There is a 10-day money back guarantee, so you can look inside before committing.
