Positive feedback about the style, content, engagement, presenter (Tom) and the mix between theory and application. We highly recommend Ab2 training; we are already planning the next group!
Very happy with the follow-on support
ab2 Institute's courses have been extremely helpful for my team, but the great thing is the follow-on support. Each month I get progress reports on what the team have been working on, which allows me to follow up with the team to see if they need anything extra to complete their courses.
I am really happy and feel honored to be one of the first people to complete the Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping.
It has helped me broaden my knowledge with Australian Accounting and Bookkeeping. As a Team Manager, I have become more confident in training my team members and sharing my knowledge with them.
I hope to learn more and to become a more valuable team member.
