Veel uhhhhh en heen en weer gewiebel met de muis. De persoon geeft al aan dat dit een oude cursus is, en dat je de nieuwe moet downloaden op Udemy.
Dit is absoluut geen professionele cursus en ik ben behoorlijk teleurgesteld.

Great course, wish the examples were made available to download, so that I can refer to the examples whilst building on my Xero skills. Otherwise, wonderful course.

The trainer needs to know xero better... too many mistakes and not knowing what was going on.... I could complete the VAC part as the course was outdated and it wouldnt let me run the VAC report for 2012 as we are now in 2018. It would be very confusing for someone who doesnt know accounting.

Yes but the narration is a bit sporadic and sometimes the instructor didn't seem to know what she was doing!
