When Do Your Certifications Expire?
To begin, log into your QBO Accountant account.
Click Team in the left side menu. Click Certifications towards the top. Then find yourself in the list of team members.
On the right, you will see the Expiration Date.
The expiration date is June 30th for anyone who’s been certified for over a year.
Where to Get Training
In the left side menu click ProAdvisor, then select Training.
You’ll see a message saying “Recertification is now open.” Click the Recertify button.
The 2-hour 15-minute training includes all the information you need to pass your recertification. Some of the lessons are optional. You need to watch the mandatory lessons to unlock the assessment.
The training is broken into smaller lessons that you can watch when you have time. You do not need to go through it all at once.
You don’t need to use Intuit’s training, but it is free and will teach you what you need to know.
Other Training Options
If you’re looking for additional training or just another option, I suggest Fast & Easy QBO. I am NOT associated with this company.
They guarantee that you will be able to pass your recertification if you use their training.
I’ve used them in the past, they do a really good job of explaining things.
Take the Exam
When you’re ready to take the exam, you’ll find it in the Certification hub.
To get there click ProAdvisor -> Training in the left-side menu. Then click Certification hub in the bar.
You will see a list of all your recertifications. Click the arrow to the right of the Take Exam, then click the Take Exam button.
I’m Advanced certified so I take the QBO Advanced certification exam.
This exam has two sections and you get 3 attempts to pass.
