Great intro course for beekkepers to learn from.
I learn alot from this booklet- great exercises.
Very helpful
Excellent tool for understanding adjusting entries and a get deak reference for those rarely used adjusting entries. When achieving a passing score on the self-exams, I think it would be beneficial to know which answers were missed and what the correct answer was.
Easy to follow instructions.
All the self study materials I’ve used so far have been straight to the point, and not giving more information than necessary. The double quiz at the end of each chapter reinforce the points that should be remembered. Would definitely recommend AIPB for any self study they offer.
I find all of AIPB’s courses very through and informative. I found the course content easy to understand.
This helped me to understand the “language” of accounting, as well as how to do and the reason for doing certain types of entries.
Very well written. This is the first AIPB course I took and I found the material to be very easy to understand. I have worked in accounting for years, and I believe the AIPB manuals are the best educational materials I have used.
Clear and easy to understand.
After taking this course, I am more confident now taking a job that requires journal entries. I was offered a job not too long ago that required journal entries but because I was not confident enough with journal entries, I turned down the offer. Except for trial balances that I did in the early stages of my career, I never had to do journal entries. However, now I can take on clients without problems.
Very easy to comprehend.
Helped me with understanding exactly how the adjusting entries work.
I think all this it is corectly.Your was making a big work on all this. Thank you. Luciano R Horta
Gave me all of the basics to begin making bookings in a general ledger. Gave me a new way to think about recognizing prepaid expenses.
Excellent
I think the book is very good. It would be great if you could access these materials online.
self study refresher course did not test
Excellent way to understand the entries explained in this course.
I still reference this 9 years later!
The study guide was helpful with a lot of examples and a good explanation for the adjusting entries.
Learning the course of Adjusting Entries on your own was a little ha, but having some one teach you the course make it very easy to learning and understand.
Wonderful refresher
The material covered in the text book and final exam were comparable.
It was a solid course, but some of the wording was difficult to understand.
Well done, good preparation for adjusting entries.
It was a very good refresher and review
EXCELLENT COURSE

My only complain is that non of these good books available in PDF, otherwise good job!!!!
