Has anyone completed the Certificate in Bookkeeping? Is the material up to date? I like the course modules and the fact that the course can be completed quickly but am concerned about the negative reviews and the quality of the content. Did this course actually help anyone advance their career? Thank you

Thanks for your question Horsey. We recently ran a survey with our graduates and 83% of our graduates said that The Career Academy improved their prospects of getting a new job or promotion. Yes, our courses are recognised in Australia, and Internationally. Please phone us on 1800 837 550 and we can discuss this further with you now.
No one can guarantee a job and many employers won't recognise your training unless it's from a proper Uni or Tafe.
At the end of the course I did " MYOB AccountRight"I was congratulated a certificate was issued. I had few messages and a link as well. The link was for some career group or association but I missed to join the group. Can that link be send to me again?

Hi academy team,
I recently saw some reviews regarding about the diploma and I'm just confused... because before I enrolled into the diploma of psychology and counselling course I was told that this is a diploma but the reviews I've seen that they've said they didn't receive a diploma that they were told but instead they received an advance certificate. I would like to know the truth behind this because I wouldn't be happy if this happens to me also, I only enrolled into this course because I was told it is a diploma. I've also sent an email got no response back so called today about the issue but she couldn't solve the problem for me and said i will talk to the head office. I am very disappointed!!! If I knew that I am being lied to I wouldn't of enrolled into this course.
Hi Sophia, Thank you for your question. I have spoken to our Student Services team to try and figure out what has happened. I do apologise for the inconvenience and the miscommunication with your course advisor and do understand your frustration.
To explain, amendments were made to the TEQSA Act 2017 on the 29th August 2017 which were put in place in March 2018. This required education providers operating in Australia to take immediate action and change the name of their Diploma courses. This change was beyond our control as a result of the legislation amendment. We were required by law to change your course from “Diploma” to “Advanced Certificate”. All students (including you) were contacted in March to advise you of this change.
Please be advised Sofia, that your course content has not and will not change. It is simply the name of the course which has changed. We apologise again for any inconvenience caused and our student services team will also contact you directly about this.
Kind regards, Daniel
Actually the law came into place in 2011 not 2018 as they claimed. Only RTOs and Higher Education Providers were legally allowed to use the word Diploma. You should ask for a full refund as you were wrongly sold the course under false pretenses. The only thing that changed in 2018 was that TESQA was able to enforce it.

You post is concerning Sharon. Please contact me directly as I’m not sure we understand your statement. Rowe - AU Country Manager
if you want to take further action, go and see consumer affairs or email them if you can, they will assist you. I am very unhappy with the dishonesty and didn't know of the cost etc were involved. All I can say, lesson learnt!!!.
YEP....I didn'tT Receive CoursEe content.
Didntl log on...didnt start.
Told then several times.
Now a lawyer is threatening me with legal action..
It's a lose lose situation. I finished my course and never received my diploma. All they care about is locking you in. As bad as telstra. They have no idea how to deal with conflict. How the business has survived I'll never know. I now have a diploma in psychology and counselling that is probably useless. Don't give them any money!
Hi Sue, Revenge and Courtney, Thank you for your comments. I have taken over from Rowe and was hoping to discuss this further with you to try and resolve the issues. Here at The Career Academy, we strive to be the leaders in online education and take your feedback very seriously. Can you please confirm your contact details or contact me on daniel@thecareeracademy.com so I can try and resolve this for you?
