Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Know Why, Not Just Where

Chart of accounts, contacts, items, bills, sales and banking. Set up the right way, so the reports come out right.

Add Payroll to Your Name

Setting up employees, running the pay, payday filing and reporting. Payroll is the piece most people are nervous about.

Get It Done Quickly

About 40 hours, with six months of access. A short course with a credential worth having at the end.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

MYOB runs the books in a great many New Zealand businesses, and someone has to know it. The work is easy to picture: coding the week's bills, matching the bank, running the pay on Wednesday. Small firms want one person who can do the lot.

MYOB Specialist

The person the team asks when the file misbehaves.

Accounts Administrator (MYOB)

Bills, sales and banking, kept current.

Payroll Administrator (MYOB)

Pay runs and payday filing, on the calendar.

Practice Support Officer

Supporting client files inside a practice.

Finance Operations Assistant

The steady work behind a small finance team.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Manager, analyst and trainer titles usually want an accounting background behind the software.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need accounts experience?

No. The page is explicit: no previous accounts or payroll experience, no MYOB knowledge, and no finance job title needed.

What does it cost each week?

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

How long does it take?

Around 40 hours, with six months of access. Plenty of people fit it into a few weeks of evenings.

What is the official MYOB test?

It is MYOB's own assessment, listed as optional. Passing it awards the Diploma in MYOB, and the college notes employers ask for it often, so most people take it.

Do I get the software?

Yes. Six months of free MYOB access comes with the course, along with access to the MYOB Partner Program.

Are there exams?

Not in the course itself. Learning is assessment based, and the MYOB test sits outside it as an optional step.

Is this course accredited?

It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, worth 40 CPD hours, which is accreditation for professional development. It is not NZQA accredited, so it is not a national qualification. Those are two different things. For MYOB work, employers care whether you can run the file.

Can I get my money back?

Yes. A 10-day money back guarantee runs from when you enrol.
