excellent course review
very good.
I thought the adjusting entries work study book provided me with what I needed to pass that portion of the test
OK
I was satisfied with all of the courses. They provided a good review and adequately prepared me for the exams.
All the courses through AIPB are wonderful – I feel I struggled with this one on the exam but I think I rushed myself into this and didn’t spend quality time on it that I should have.

I work with minimal amount of clients that use Inventory but I now understand the differences.
I had experienced and instance or two regarding items on back order.
Very good.
I have not finished reading the rest of the material yet, but I am in the process.
Helped with my current job duties.
find course easy and very structural
The class was great. Very Informative!
super fun
Practical contents to apply for reality. Still useful in business as a reference book!
I like all your course books. They are full of detailed information in a straight forwa, easy to read format. I intend to purchase the tax books also.
I found all subject matters to be clear and easy to follow. If you struggle with the first section of a chapter, the quiz section will surely clear up any questions you may have. I felt very confident with each subject at it’s conclusion.
A few years back I used the workbook to prepare for a amil in test. If you are considering that to be taking a course …. I felt it was effective. If there is an actual online or live course, I can’t say.
very informative and good reference material.
Very good book.
OK
It would help to get tests back to see what was done correctly & what was missed. The course explantions were easy to understand.
great!
a great refresher course and excellent for exam prep
Was easy to understand and covered the material could have used a few more examples/questions to assist someone who perhaps does not have an accounting background.
Very Good
It has been 9 years, but what I can remember the information covered was good.
I found the course a helpful review of the different methods for inventory accounting
I appreciated the material, but I found that I was lost often in trying to keep up with the lesson.
