  • Comprehensive overview of the system.
  • Maxine our trainer was amazing ! Super inteligent and very patient with all of us Would highly recommend her for all your Xero needs Thanks again !!!
  • The venue is well suited and the classroom spacious enough for all who attended with plenty of computers. The refreshments and kitchen facilities is very well equipped and much appreciated especially when one is doing an evening course and has come straight from work. Maxine our educator is wonderful! She is very versed and knowledgeable about the Xero programme as well as the accounting aspect. I found her to be very informative and would go the extra mile for queries and understanding of certain aspects of the programme. She is very patient and ensured we were all on the same page each time before we continued on to the next section. She also happily attended to us individually when required if any one of us was stuck on any certain aspect. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs an understanding of the Xero accounting programme.
