When my bookkeeping journey began in early 2021, I researched online training courses. There are plenty out there but I wanted to hear directly from students who took the course. Read on to discover my top three favorite things about Kristin Ingram’s Bookkeeper Training School (BTS) course.
Check out my full review of Bookkeeper Training School here.
#3 Bookkeeper Exchange Program
After becoming QBO and BTS certified, members of Bookkeeper Training School can enroll in the Bookkeeper Exchange Program. Choose to be paired with a web designer, copywriter or virtual assistant and exchange services at no cost to one another. This is a fantastic opportunity to practice your bookkeeping and client-onboarding skills with another service-based business.
#2 Searchable video calls
Within the online course platform, Kristen utilizes a video library that is searchable by keyword. If you remember hearing something on a live call and want to listen again, simply type in the keyword and videos mentioning that topic appear. Click play and the video begins right at the topic talking point (so you don’t have to watch the entire hour video to find the answer!).
#1 Empower Bookkeeper Network
My number one favorite feature of Bookkeeper Training School is having access to Kristin and other bookkeepers from the course. It’s motivational to see other women, who learned the same content as you, reaching success and sharing their stories.
Empower Bookkeeper Network (EBN) is set up as a private Facebook group. You can ask questions about marketing or client-specific bookkeeping and get answers directly from Kristin or from other bookkeepers who took her course. Seriously, she takes the time to answer the question!
BTS is a self-paced course, so everyone is at a different stage with varying levels of experience – which is great for getting ideas and input. Members regularly post their “wins” and struggles and receive plenty of support through comments from others! It truly is an “empowering” group of people who want the best for each other.
If you’re considering a bookkeeper course, I encourage you to try Bookkeeper Training School. Kristin’s course is made for moms who are looking to make a full time income while their kids nap – and all from home without prior experience! Curious what else BTS includes? Read my full review here
