QuickBooks Detailed Seminar Help

I have been doing the Intro to QB for the SBDC as well, but I do not charge for that one. Do you charge for yours? And would you charge for the 15 lessons one?

The SBDC charges the seminar attendees & I get paid by the SBDC. The Intro to QB seminar is 2 - 1/2 days (hands on) and I think it is $179 or $189. The payroll seminar is 2 hours, Intermediate QB Workshop (3 hours), Intro to QB for Contractors (all day), and QB POS (half day).

PLEASE mark this answer as solved or post additional questions. Thanks so much!!!

Ohhh, I didn't know you were referring to the Lessons one as the Intro. Let me clear something up, I do a 1.5 hour Intro Class that I offer to the SBDC. This detailed class I have been approached to do a 4-hour class at the SBDC. I figure I would choose 5-6 lessons to go through and offer a part-two if there was interest.

You mentioned in your previous comment that you offer a 1.5 hour Intro Class. Can you provide more insight as to what you cover in your Intro Class? Thanks.

I teach an 18-hour course "Basics of QB Pro" using that Learning Guide. I don't teach all of the lessons; we don't have Sales Tax in Montana. I don't teach the payroll lesson or inventory lesson in the Basics class. I teach payroll as a 6-hour focus class and I teach inventory as a 3-hour focus class.

We have two labs with 12 computers plus the teacher's computer is hooked up to a large flat panel TV, so it is very hands-on. I teach three or four sessions every quarter, even Summer. There is always a waiting list, too.

I think, if you teach from the powerpoint screens, you would only need half or two-thirds the time. I allow time for us to get lost, mess up, and ask questions.

Thanks for the information. Sounds like you have a very good sysem in place. I am contemplating offering classes to existing clients as well as potential clients. I think I will start with an Intro QB class using some of the lessons and the power point presentation. Thanks againg for your assistance.

Randy A- The 1.5 hour Intro Class that I do is a power point that used to be on the ProAdvisor site. It's called Fundamentals of Financial Management. It goes through a lot of cash flow and shows screen shots of QB and how it helps. It's a great class for people that are thinking of buying quickbooks or have started their own business.
