Non-credit accounting courses

[gelato 1]

I signed up for bookkeeping series at a community college. The series has 6 courses and will be completed in little over 2 months.

The courses are no credit and I'll be given a certificate of completion. How are these courses from an employer's perspective. Wondering if I'll be able to find an entry-level bookkeeping job. Experts please chime in. Thanks.

Here's what will be taught: accounting 1& 2, financial statements analysis, quickbooks beginners and intermediate, business tax forms

Certificates are worthless from Employers perspective, I would strongly suggest you to get an AA'S in Bookkeeping to get a better shot in this job market, an Associate Degree is the minimum that would impress an employer that receive hundreds if not thousands of applications of well qualified individual for a single job opening.

so disappointed to read what katiemanny wrote but she is right!!! And sometimes you are prepared, from a great US college, with great reference and you go to x company with your resume and hopes under your arm and you ask: are you hiring?? and they answer sorry! we are not hiring right now, but you can let your resume and we will contact you when there is an opportunity........ jajajajaj BS
