How does the course work?
It runs automatically, one screen at a time. Each module opens with a full-screen lesson, followed by six questions that test what you just read. Answer correctly to move on; the next screen loads by itself.
What happens when I finish?
The moment you answer the final question correctly, you are taken straight to your Certificate of Competence, which downloads as a PDF and carries a QR code anyone can scan to verify it.
How much does it cost?
R295 once-off for South African learners, or US$17.00 internationally. You can view the price in any currency on the pricing page. There are no subscriptions.
Can I stop and continue later?
Yes. Your progress is saved after every screen, on any device you sign in from.
Do I need prior experience?
No. The course starts with the foundations and builds to year-end adjustments and financial statements.
